Meat merchant Oleg, Prostitution Marina, and piano tuner "simply Volodya" drop into an all-night bar in Moscow, where they are served by a Narcolepsy bartender (three plus one is four) while each regales the others with made-up biographies. Oleg claims to work in President Vladimir Putin's administration, supplying him with bottled water and his wife with liquor; Marina passes herself off as a marketing executive; and Volodya, the infamous lead singer of the rock group Leningrad (band), as a geneticist who human cloning twins (two times two makes four, again) in a laboratory that has been engaged in these experiments since the days of Joseph Stalin. After they separate, these fantasy realities, especially Volodya's, begin to dominate their everyday lives.
