This film is about a lonely Russian homosexual, a real person, who is also an anti-gay Orthodox Christian pro-Putin activist. These two identities that thoroughly contradict each other, unfold in his video blog in a chaotic schizophrenic mixture of images and sounds.

Mavromatti also had researched and collected an enormous amount of youtube videos – which the film is entirely made of – to set the context, in which his character can blossom and decay. Mavromatti's intellectual montage of this footage shows how the life of the individual is directly affected by the smallest changes in Russia's political climate...
