Yegor and Zhenya rent a small apartment in a suburb; they are about 25 years old and touchingly in love with each other. Zhenya recently got a job in a fashionable Internet-edition and is ecstatic about her new work. Yegor is a guy without ambition: he drives a taxi at night and sleeps during the day. He is jealous of Zhenya’s journalistic circles and especially of one of her colleagues. Day after day he stages scenes from a married life, which become ever harsher, the pride ever louder, and the insult ever deeper. At last, after another quarrel, Yegor tells Zhenya: “Let’s break up”.
