Taking a break from their unsuccessful lives, two middle-aged people meet up for a picnic in an attempt to rediscover romantic connection. Naïve, ill at ease and born of a post-soviet generation, they grapple with their most awkward selves whilst struggling with their boundaries, in the everlasting search for love.
