Irina Evteeva’s debut quickly became a kind of manifesto for the one-room experimental studio: it defines classification by interweaving animation, appropriated footage, feature and documentary to form a unique whole, a film that rushes backwards into the future, thereby re-inventing Futurism. Mayakovskiy is the star; his occasional presence holds together a film driven by the sound, the beat, of his poetry. Evteeva develops a dramatic structure of flaring, fading, being from light: violin strings become rays, quivering dull yellow spots, pictures. The plot assails the material from which it derives energy from material. History, growling and roaring, finds its form.

The plot of the movie is based on a real criminal case, when several years ago a gang of criminals killed prominent military leaders in order to steal their military awards. The murder of retired General Gridnev was committed, and his apartment was robbed. Major of police Tagantsev goes to the tipsters bandits. But the thief-recidivist nicknamed Valek manages to outplay the detective. Tagantsev's group will have to work hard to catch the recidivist in the city by the sea Yalta...

Once a baby elephant found a pencil in the forest, on which were wound wonderful ribbons. And since he was terribly disturbed by ears, he decided to tie them with ribbons and immediately became like a girl. A small hippopotamus was very interfered with by the stomach, and the second ribbon, which the elephant lent him, he tied his torso to himself. The giraffe took friends for the girls, but they explained that they were boys, just tied themselves up what they were prevented from moving and playing. Then the giraffe also decided to keep up and bandaged his neck so that he would not cling to the clouds. When the cheerful trio met a real girl with long hair, she told them that it was her ribbons, and that without them, her hair hindered her very much.
