It is New Year’s Eve and Moscow is full of typical traffic jams. Everyone is rushing like mad, all to no avail. Conversations about trivial things… A father, who has nothing to live for and for whom nothing can be done and a 15 year old girl who has ambitions to become an oncologist or perhaps a food-designer. What was and what will be. This is what’s happening to me, is a bittersweet lyric tale, set to the music of Tariverdiev (Irony of Fate – a 1970s Soviet cult classic); remembering the good old days, a time when the “irony of fate” could literally comfort and reassure that there is a new and happy life in the new year.
