Банан
Synopsis
Every morning Sasha gets on a shuttle bus and commutes to Moscow for several hours where he works as a promoter in a banana costume at a fruit and vegetable shop. He is often late, so his employer has been threatening to fire him for a long time. In his thirty-seven, Sasha still lives with his mother, with whom he cannot find a common language. His ex-wife wants to deprive him of his parental rights and the opportunity to see his son, whom he has not seen for a long time. The overdue loans turn into serious threats from the collector. He seems to live and not feel what is going on around him. But will he be able to change something if his life is threatened?
