Life in post-Communist Ukraine has not been kind to Anatoly (Alexandre Lazarev). A respected academic and linguist before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Anatoly now finds his skills useful only for translating business deals at a few dollars a shot. Even his wife Katia (Angelika Nevolina) is finding a better deal in an affair with a co-worker. Feeling depressed and obsolete, Anatoly decides on a thoroughly market-economy solution to his woes: through a friend (Eugen Pachin), he hires someone to kill him(The assassins in Kiev are as cheap as life has become.) But, after he meets a lively young hooker, Vika (Tatiana Krivitskaia), who reawakens his zest for living, he wants to call off the hitman. But things don't go quite as planned...
