From the beginning, Tanya and Evgeni’s house-building project seems unusual, not only because they do not undertake it from free pieces, but because they have to run away from Evgeni’s gangster capitalist enemies. As budding Communists and revolutionaries, they also have the ambition of using their project, a wooden house in a semi-rural setting, as a point towards overcoming the differences between town and countryside, if not a complete return to the Russian village world, the mir. They encounter bureaucratic obstacles, social cold, and even unfettered greed. Luckily, the world revolution of 2021, with Russia as one of its first and foremost venues, saves them from losing not only their house, but their belief in humanity as well. However, there are still capitalist reactionaries trying to undermine the future natural idyll they want to build.
