synopsis

The possibility of dialogue on the Ukrainian crisis, as seen from the West and from the East. A debating contest meets a telephone call by Vladimir Zhirinovsky to the Ukrainian minister of the interior. Stuck in the middle is man in all his nakedness.

DETAIL:
“Thank you for your openness, for having expressed a desire to meet. I wish all the best. Please come to the interview without orange juice. We’ll pour schnapps over ourselves.”
