With: Artem, Eva Elfie

Artem and Yulia live in Moscow. Sparked by an idea by Artem to finance their lives in the expensive city, the young couple starts making amateur porn videos. The focus is on Yulia, who quickly gains popularity as “Eva Elfie”. The couple openly communicates about their insecurities, feelings and the cold-hearted business they are involved in. However, success comes at a price: while Yulia tries to maintain both her career and her boyfriend’s desires, Artem becomes increasingly doubtful of their lucrative hobby. A tender coming-of-age story of two people who defy social norms but nevertheless find themselves entangled in them.
