5 AM. Barbara and Werner, 7 years into their marriage, have been arguing since 10 PM. They are on the verge of paying off their mortgage, but look into the abyss of “what’s next?”, opening up the floodgates of pent up anger and resentments.

Featuring stage and screen stars Yulia Peresild and Andrey Burkovskiy.
Presented in Russian w/ English subtitles
