TILL NIGHT DO US PART

Portrait

The rich and beautiful meet up in one of Moscow’s finer fine-dining establishments, to cook up new projects, finally engage in a heated argument again, reel in their dream partner or simply just to recover from the events of the previous night. Their amusing and sometimes shocking table talk is based on real conversations overheard at the famous “Café Pushkin”. The list of performers reads like a Who’s Who of Moscow’s cultural scene. As in any great theatre, the real drama is to be found behind the curtains however. While a frazzled sous-chef attempts to prevent catastrophes large and small, a pair of waiters, one skinny, the other less so, stumble back and forth between kitchen and guests, each becoming further entangled in his respective love life in the process.
