Desc: DAU. Sasha Valera: Directed by Ilya Khrzhanovskiy, Jekaterina Oertel. With Valery Andreev, Irina Belova, Alexandr Bozhik, Valery Dudkin. While the scientists conduct their research and experiments, the Institute's facilities team live their own lives - it's a separate world, in a separate space, with its own relationships and rituals. Sasha, a young janitor, notices a certain softness and kindness in an older janitor, Valera, and they steal away together to drink to their "male love". In a small, secluded room, away from their colleagues, the two men waver between resisting and giving in to their feelings and desires, walking a tightrope between violent tendencies and a need for tenderness.
