Experiencing Interruptions?

Here and Now

An elderly resident of a sparsely furnished apartment, somewhere in the former USSR, is being visited by her granddaughter, who captures the encounter on camera. Insurmountable difference between two fundamentally different generations result in a debate about the heterogeneous idea of the role of women. Just a few worthless medals remind the grandmother of a crumbling regime, while the memory of her own family has long since faded.
