Malen'kie Lyudi
Nariman Turebayev
Beck and Max are two outsiders living together in a tiny apartment. They earn their living by selling all sorts of objects on the street. What they sell doesn't earn them very much, but enables them to get by. Each of them has a dream: Beck dreams of finding true love, whilst Max dreams of joining his grandma in Germany. Things could go on like this forever... but one day, Beck falls in love with a beautiful woman dressed in red.
