Natasha runs the canteen at a secret 1950s Soviet research institute. This is the beating heart of the DAU universe, everyone drops in here: the institute's employees, scientists and visiting foreign guests. Natasha's world is a small one, split between the demands of the canteen during the day and alcohol fuelled nights with her younger colleague Olga, during which the two confide their hopes of romance and for a different future. At a party one evening Natasha becomes close to a visiting French scientist Luc Bige and the two sleep together. The following day her life takes a dramatic turn when she is summoned to an interrogation by the KGB's General Vladimir Azhippo who questions the nature of her relationship with the foreign guest.

An unfiltered representation of life in an authoritarian regime: locked and small spaces, night scenarios, lot of booze (to escape the reality), humiliation, violence, double standards, baseless science, small acts of resistance. There is no ending, no moral of the story, no drama. In fact, [spoiler] at the end, everything starts again as usual. [/spoiler] _I will leave more thoughtful considerations on the DAU project after seeing more from it: this is the first I've seen._
nothing made sense. but theres something underneath it all. like that later scene around the end. it was very masterfully done with realistic dialog and behaviour. it shows theres something going on. something we as the viewer is missing. maybe seeing more dau. movies will clear it up. but as i said, nothing makes sense. all wack.
That film is a tough watch, but with remarkably realistic dialogues.
