Vladimir and Andrejquickly get the permanent residence permits; Mischa, who is Russian but not Jewish, only gets a three month visa, while dreaming of starting a music career.Vladimiris more aimless, happy loafing about and helping out his friends. That is until he meets Olga, the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen.
