Kokoko

In the morning there's the job in the museum of ethnography, in the evening there are news on Ren-TV, and on days off there is sex with the ex-husband. Lisa is a typical representative of the intelligentsia. Vika, on the other hand, is a true provincial girl. For her, the holiday in St. Petersburg consists of vodka, parties and adventures. It seems that the two have nothing in common. However, by chance they meet and find common ground: water and fire, a nun and a libertine, the intelligentsia and the people. Lisa and Vika are two sides of the same coin by the name of Russia. Kokoko is a never-ending comedy of Russian life!
