Scenes of Friendly Ties

One winter day and one night in the lives of thirty-year-old friends, former classmates. They must overcome everyday difficulties to meet and see off Sasha, who is leaving Moscow for an extended period.

Their friends are horrified, and regret is setting in. They start plotting their revenge— and before they know it, they’re staging an off-Broadway play…
