Two generations of bitter comedy collide in one cramped Moscow apartment — hilariously painful.
33 minSeason 1 • Episode 10
LatestDanya is coming from the provinces to Moscow. He dreams of conquering the capital and becoming a popular stand-up artist. The young man has nothing but ambitions behind his soul, but he needs to live somewhere right now, and he rents a room from Vyacheslav Sokolov, a grumpy, offended old man. And although the relationship between Danya and Vyacheslav cannot be called rosy, as it turns out, they have more in common than one might assume. By a strange coincidence, Sokolov was a popular Soviet satirist in the past.
