If I see even one needle,
you'll scrub the whole stairwell.

Good afternoon to you too!

Anton, are your keys on you?
Because I think I left mine at home.

I lost the button.

Hold the door, please!

I'm coming.
Don't start the meeting without me.

Good afternoon!
We're your neighbors from apartment 26.

- Open up, please!
- And why should I believe you?

We live above you. A family with two kids.

Oh, so it's your kids
jumping around every evening?

Yes, yes, that's us.

Then jump outside.

- Thank God, thanks.
- Oh, thank you.

Listen, tell your haywire owner,
whose renovations you're doing,

- not to turn this place into a dump.
- That would be me.

Sorry.

Damn.

Damn.

Imagine, as soon as we get upstairs,
the power will come back.

Don't worry, the schedule says
no power for another four hours.

No washing, no bathing the kids,
no watching TV shows.

- How long will this nightmare last?
- Four hours.

NO SMOKING

- People are stuck.
- That's from the previous outage.

It's my third smoke break,
and they're still in there.

- Did you call the dispatcher?
- No.

Someone must've called them.

We'll call the dispatcher now.

No signal.

Or maybe not.

- We'll call from home.
- Sure.

- Oh, my, what happened?
- Nothing serious.

Our joints hurt.
We don't want to take the stairs.

If the elevator doesn't work, you'll have
to carry me like this.

It's fine, we'll get a generator,
it'll be easier.

- Generator?
- Oh, there's a meeting today.

- At Irina's kindergarten.
- Why didn't you tell me?

You've never been interested in meetings.

No, but if the generator issue is being
discussed, I'm coming with you.

HOA MEETING
TODAY AT IRINA'S KINDERGARTEN

KINDERGARTEN
"HARMONY"

Yes, Anichka,
I'm already at the kindergarten.

Oops, we took it off.

No, no, we haven't started yet.

Mom, why are we back at the kindergarten?

Sweetie, Daddy and I will talk
to the neighbors for 15 minutes

and go home, okay?
You go and play for now.

Anton, I have more chairs
in the principal's office. Bring them.

Are you already at the hardware store?

Look for something brighter.

Okay.

- What theater were you at?
- We're coming from work.

Oh, so, you work in a theater?

- Okay, good evening, everyone.
- What's good about it?

- Good evening.
- Good evening, Galyna Vasylivna.

I saved you a seat here.

The youth these days.

Neighbors used to baptize
each other's kids.

Now, no hello, no goodbye. Ridiculous.

He's wearing headphones,
he can't hear you.

Good evening.

So, let's get this over with and go home.

First time at an HOA meeting?

Good luck.

Anton, why are you being so pessimistic?

Neighbors, today's issue is really simple.

Our house reserve fund has money.

Anton and I decided
to buy a big generator for our section.

Decided?

Yulia meant that we're proposing it.

Because everyone
must decide, not just you.

Oh, dear. You don't like this lady?

According to the HOA charter,
the HOA head must present the proposal.

Why are you interrupting? Let Anton speak.

That's me.

I'll post a broadcast in our Viber chat,

for the neighbors who didn't come.
The meeting has started.

Please continue, Mr. Head.

So, our house fund has some money.

And we propose buying
a generator for our entrance.

A generator is a must-have.

What did he say?

I said we're buying the generator.
We didn't even need to meet.

According to the HOA charter,
we can't spend reserve funds

without the written consent
of HOA members.

- So let's start signing.
- Why are you deciding for everyone?

- Are you against it?
- Me? I'm for it. But I'm against

some people imposing
their opinions on all of us.

Neighbors, let's not get personal.

Let's just vote.
And remember, unity is our strength.

Didn't I say so? I said so!
I said so, didn't I?

I said so, didn't I?

Hyrsha, we need more details.
Because you've said a lot.

I said we need a barrier gate.

To keep random jerks
out of our yard. That's it!

Now my car is scratched.
That's my Nissan, my baby.

Now I have to repaint the doors.
I just got it; how do I sell it now?

The white one?

Madam, white pearl
with a stripe down the side.

As soon as I find out who it was,
I'll rip their arms off.

I'm posting in the chat.

"Dear neighbors,
please respond, 'who scratched the car?'"

"Your arms will be torn off."

I have a feeling no one will respond.

Just check the video
from the cameras, it's obvious.

Imagine if there was no power.

That's why we need a generator.

After we buy a barrier,

so no scoundrel can scratch my baby.

Or maybe you should
just park your baby properly.

Oksana…

What? I park on the sidewalk,
so I don't bother anyone.

On the sidewalk where people walk.

They can go around.

The whole road is free.

So maybe you could move
your car to free up the sidewalk?

- But my charging cable is too short.
- Oh, really?

So when I come home
with groceries and kids,

I have to walk around your car
because your cable is too short?

Just because you have kids doesn't mean

you should get special treatment.

Special treatment?

Walking on the sidewalk
is "special treatment" now?

Maybe I went too far with "quickly."

Maybe you scratched my car?
You seem to be quite hysterical.

I'm hysterical?
Anton, don't you have anything to say?

You're not hysterical.

I'd stand up for you.

- I love you.
- I love you too.

Excuse me.

Yes, Anya? I'm at the meeting.

- I can talk.
- I don't get it.

Tell me, neighbors, why are you silent?
Am I the only one bothered by this baby?

- Oksana, it bothers me too.
- But we're here about the generator.

Seriously.

We can get green for the kitchen,
and pink for the hallway.

I'm not yelling.

Is he starting his renovations again?

Sorry, but your constant drilling,
day and night,

it's too much.
I'm losing sleep because of the noise.

About the noise. Whose cow is moaning?

Mooing. Cows moo.

I think

cars shouldn't be allowed
in the yard at all.

The exhaust fumes stink.

I live on the first floor,
and it all comes into my apartment.

- Then move in with me.
- Your place just smells bad.

Aunt Galya, my baby is electric.

There's no smell.

If we can't resolve the parking issue
according to the HOA charter,

- let's put it to a vote.
- Let's vote.

Let's do it.
I'm putting the question to a vote.

Can people park like jerks?

Or maybe we should vote
not to invite whiners to meetings?

Neighbors, enough. Stop it, seriously.
Let's get back to the topic.

- All right, break time.
- Break? You just got here.

With you, an hour feels like two.

Should I type "break" in the chat?

It's so stuffy.

- Should I open the window, dear?
- I meant our atmosphere.

Dear co-owners, I suggest rescheduling
the generator meeting.

I agree. My stream just started,
and the internet's is shitty here.

What do you mean, reschedule?

Generators are selling like crazy,
and we barely reserved the last one.

- What are you watching, anyway?
- Major finals at SC2.

Don't you get it?

Our reservation
will be canceled by tomorrow.

We'll be without power all winter.
We have to decide today.

Today's a bad day for such decisions.
Mercury is retrograde.

Really?

I posted about it
in the building's Viber chat.

I left the chat.
Three hundred messages a day.

It's maddening.

Oh, I love reading our chat at night
instead of watching TV.

Your pointless arguments are works of art.

By the way,
we discuss important issues there.

Especially when you write at midnight,
"Can I borrow a plunger?"

Your screenname is "Mrs. Bun," right?

That's me. Well, actually,
that's my wife's Viber account.

She runs an online store,
making buns and pastries to order.

By the way,
the plunger question is still relevant.

I wouldn't buy your pastries.

The idea to buy a generator, as a group,
was first proposed on September 26th.

Then we debated, for three days,
whether it should be diesel or gasoline.

Then everyone quarreled,
and nothing was written after that.

As the HOA head, couldn't you take
responsibility and show initiative?

If you worked in my company,
I'd have fired you long ago.

He's so indecisive. Is he a Libra rising?

- My zodiac sign is Cancer.
- Oh, even worse.

Dear co-owners, I took the initiative.

I took responsibility
and ordered the generator.

All you need to do is vote.
Please. Put your phone down!

Get the green one.

All formalities are done. Let's vote.
Who's in favor of the generator?

What?

Honestly, I don't care. I'm for it.

Great. So, is everyone in favor of it?

No, I have a question.

Where will the generator be placed?

On the left side of the building.

Wait, that's where
the entrance to the yard is.

Our windows face that side.

- How many decibels is it?
- Seventy.

We should've gotten a silent one,
it's obvious.

Nadyusha can't stand noise.
She has insomnia.

We can tell she has insomnia.

I get migraines.

- Enough. We can't place it on our side.
- Then we'll put it on the right side.

On the right, facing the entrance
or with your back to it?

Do you enter the building backwards?

No, but I exit backwards
because my entrance faces behind.

Look.

Here's the building, here's the entrance.

So, this is right, and this is left.

But we live in the building.

So it makes more sense to measure
from when you exit the building:

this is right, and this is left.

Wait, I measured it differently.

Here's the metro.

Here's the road people drive and walk on.

This is north. This is south.

So, this is left, and this is right.

The metro is here. Or rather, here.

Underground. It's the metro.

So, where exactly
will the generator be placed?

Here.

That makes no sense.

I thought so too.
I drive into the yard like this.

And this is left.

- That's right!
- Don't shout.

Good job, dear,
at least you figured it out.

I can't see anything from here.
Give me the blueprint.

It didn't help.

It's even clearer here.

Did I miss anything?

The generator placement plan.

Any objections?

Then sign it.

So, are we buying the generator?

That hasn't been decided yet.

What are you doing?

Building our house.

It's easy to explain everything to kids
using a construction set.

- Maybe it'll help you too.
- No need to make idiots out of us.

- Why am I making you idiots?
- Where have you seen smart kids?

Are you really a kindergarten principal?

I genuinely think
this will make things clearer.

Turn the entrance toward me.

Now that's better.

All right, look, here we have the road.

I still don't get where the entrance is.

We'll mark the entrance
with Halyna Vasylivna.

We can't place the generator here
because it'll disturb Nadya's sleep.

And here,
it'll stink for Halyna Vasylivna.

I suggest placing it here.

No, no, no, not there.
I park my car there.

Nadia, hand me the little car, please.

Careful. Don't scratch it.

There.

Why did you park it so nicely?

Park it like you usually do in real life.

Like this.

Or even like this.

Or maybe even like this.

Well, this is going to take a while.
Hrysha, help me bring more chairs.

- I already brought all we had.
- You didn't look hard enough.

- So, where?
- Everything's here.

Do you need a chair?

Well, I wouldn't mind sitting down.

I figured out what our problem is.

Friends,
you're thinking like geocentrists,

when you should be thinking
like heliocentrists.

Was he also helping you look for chairs?

The sun gives energy to the Earth.

Just like the generator gives
our building energy.

Metaphorically speaking,

the generator is our sun.

And our yard is

- a little solar system.
- He's definitely drunk.

I'm sober. So, the generator

is a constant,
and everything revolves around it.

Do you have any actual solutions?

In philosophical discourse,
the point isn't the solution,

but the discussion itself.

- With my students in school, we used to--
- Enough!

We're too boxed in.
We need to think outside the box.

The letters seem familiar,
but they don't form words at all.

We placed the sun at the business center.

The sun?

Or the sun?

Solar panels from Yasno.

All right.

They won't be noisy,
and we'll save money on fuel.

Taras, we don't have
enough money in the reserve fund

for solar panels.

Please, neighbors, let's just find a place
for the generator and be done.

What about near the sports field?
There's an empty lot there.

Excuse me? Empty lot? That's my garden.

I'll buy you tomatoes in the summer.
We have more important matters.

Nothing is more important

than my hydrangeas,
asters, and forget-me-nots.

It's winter. What hydrangeas?

Clearly, you only sit
in front of your computers.

You don't know that flowers
are planted in the fall.

I planted rhododendrons
and bonfire hydrangeas last month.

- They're beautiful. So lovely.
- Like you.

Senya, how did you manage to get married

three times with such cheap tricks?

Halyna Vasylivna, this isn't your garden.

It's shared building property.

What?! I've lived here for 37 years.

You weren't even born
when I got this apartment.

Raisa Petrivna and I planted this garden
together. God rest her soul.

And as long as I'm alive,
no one will step on this land.

- Not your degenerator.
- Can you stop shouting?

Why's he bossing me around?
Yes, I clean for you. Yes, he pays me.

But that doesn't mean he can command me.

Let him command at his company.
Here, we're all equals. Got it?

Let's finally get rid
of this putrid thing.

- It would be great to clarify.
- I mean the trash bins.

We've been saying it for ages now
that they need to be moved farther away.

I can't even open my window
because of the stench.

And we'll place the generator
where the bins are.

Well?

No one parks there.
Your garden won't be touched.

And Nadia's windows face the other side.

Now that's thinking outside the box.

So, it's decided then?

One moment.

Do the trash bins hold some value for you?

Do I look like a homeless person?
Are you kidding me?

We want to move them
and place the generator there.

- And the trash?
- Farther away.

Fine by me.

It's fine by him.

Then I propose we vote.

- According to the HOA charter--
- All right, all right. Anton!

Who's in favor of buying the generator
using the building's reserve fund?

Please raise your hand.

- Two, three.
- Anton, raise your hand.

We only have one apartment, so one vote.

Raise it.

One second.

What, are we buying a second generator?

Just raise your hand. Like this.

- He's in.
- The decision is unanimous. Hooray!

- Congratulations!
- Finally!

- Hooray!
- Twenty-one minutes? Not bad.

- That's a record!
- And no fights.

What, were there fights before?

Oh, I've lived here for 37 years,
I've seen it all.

Well, we are, after all,
intelligent, educated people.

Like a monkey in glasses.

They scratched the car, taped up
the dashboard, and stayed silent.

All right, I'm writing "the decision
to buy a generator has been made."

"Hugs and kisses, that's from me."
I'll add that.

Anton, collect the chairs.

- Chairs?
- Chairs.

- Chairs.
- Yes, dear.

Yes.

Ten meters to home,
and they're taking a taxi.

Not that it's none of your business,
but we're going to a restaurant.

Oh my, I can't believe it.
No more getting up at night

to turn on the right machine
when the power comes back on?

- Oh, are they easing the schedules?
- What do you mean?

The generator will
take care of it, remember?

Wait, you thought
it'd power the apartments?

Well, yeah, what else?

- Sweetie, play a bit longer.
- I don't believe you.

- Anton, bring the chairs from my--
- Office, I remember.

- Need help?
- Unexpected.

Expected.

Honey, maybe you should go?
You have a call now.

Sweetheart, I can't leave you alone
with these toxic people.

Max, listen,
I've got an important meeting.

Run the call with the PMs yourself.

After that, update all the statuses
and send them to me for approval, okay?

Kids these days.

So glued to their phones,
they don't even move.

It doesn't hear you.

- Oh, done already?
- Just getting started.

Clearly,
it's your first meeting with neighbors.

Groundhog Day.

Max, I'm telling you,
I'm at an important meeting.

I can't listen to voice messages.
If it's important, text me.

I hate people who send voice messages.

Dear co-owners.

Clearly, we've encountered
some misunderstanding.

According to the HOA charter,
the head must report.

Stop it; you've said that already today.

Today's a bad day for meetings. Mercury is
retrograde.

- So, we're rescheduling?
- We're not rescheduling anything.

Otherwise, we'll never decide anything.

That's true whether we reschedule or not.

The decision to buy
the generator is annulled, correct?

The meeting is reopened.

Once again, dear co-owners.

According to the HOA charter,
the head must--

As the head, I hand the floor to Yulia.

So, the generator we decided to buy

will ensure the operation
of the elevator and pumps

that supply water for heating.

Back in Roman times,

water was supplied through aqueducts.

What about the router?
How will we watch Twitch?

- What's Twitch?
- There'll be internet.

Since when do you listen to us?

Since you decided,
for some reason, to restart this meeting.

But what about electricity
for the apartments?

If we connect the apartments,

it'll overload the generator
and it might burn out.

Why not get a bigger one?

25 kW is better, it's obvious.

Because it costs 350,000.

And we only have 250,000 in the fund.

Then let's all pitch in.
Nadia will open a GoFundMe.

Right?

Taras, I'm asking you,
let's not even start.

We couldn't even collect
300 hryvnya each for a new intercom.

The intercom is useless to me,
like a fifth leg on a dog.

I'm on the first floor.
You can just shout out the window.

If we pitch in, we'll have electricity.

It's only 10,000 per apartment.

- I'm not pitching in.
- Me neither.

Of course. You've never contributed
to the building fund.

Neighbors, trust me,
I've checked everything.

I selected and reserved
the only suitable option.

Your suitable option
doesn't suit us at all.

- When do you think this meeting will end?
- Infinity cannot be measured.

It's not perfectly aligned.
It'll power a TV.

And we don't need much, just a hair dryer.

A hair dryer is 1 kW.

- What about my coffee machine?
- At least 1 kW.

You'll manage without coffee.

- I need a stove to cook for the kids.
- 1 kW.

- Maybe even 1.5.
- Why are you quiet?

- What, am I the only one who needs it?
- Why is everything 1 kW with you?

Let's test it. My drill.

- How much does it use?
- Oh, it doesn't matter how much it uses.

Forget about the drill altogether.
Even when the power is on.

What do you mean, forget it?
How am I supposed to remove the old tiles?

- You're going to remove the tiles?
- Of course.

My wife's at the store right now.
She's picking out new ones.

You haven't finished our renovations?
You've been doing this for a year.

Only the tiles are left.

We installed white marble ones.
But they don't match

- the blue curtain in the bathroom.
- Maybe change the curtain?

My wife rejected that option.

She really, you know, likes the curtain.

So, you're the one drilling the wall.
I thought it was Hrysha.

And I've been banging on his radiator.

Move in with me,
no one drills at my place.

Oh, Lord. You could drill anyone crazy.

No one's banging on my radiator.

That's because
you're the one banging on ours.

It's you below us, and his drill above us.

No drill can compare
to your Nadia, screaming.

- What screaming?
- Women's screaming.

Specifically, moaning and groaning.

But we're not-- You can hear it?

Oh, yes.
It's like you're doing it in my kitchen.

We're adults; we can do whatever we want.

Turn your TV volume up
and stop eavesdropping.

- I don't even scream.
- I would turn the TV volume,

but you see,
our generator isn't very powerful.

Unlike Taras.

Generator.

Neighbors, let's get back
to the generator topic.

I asked you to stay focused
for at least ten minutes.

You couldn't even last three.

Apparently, the only one
who can last is Taras.

What did I miss?

Taras is hooking up
with his girlfriend in Iryna's kitchen.

- What about the generator?
- Not discussed yet.

Neighbors, listen to me, please.

There won't be a perfect,
comfortable life.

We'll have to make sacrifices.

Agreed.

Yulia is right.

- We need to give up the elevator.
- No.

Why not? We can walk, can't we?

We didn't drop dead.

But you don't walk.
You smoke right on the stairs.

- I have two kids.
- Kids have lots of energy.

They should be flying
up the stairs, not walking.

Tell them it's a game.

Are you against the elevator?

No, I'm against
you always bringing up your kids.

That's called child-centrism.

When you have your own kids,
then we'll see how you are.

We don't plan on having kids.

Nadia, drop it.
You can see it triggers them.

- Now we'll get the classic shaming.
- Shaping?

I thought no one does that anymore.

We don't want kids ruining
our perfect relationship with Taras.

Do you think kids ruin relationships?

Well, judging by you and Anton.

Mind your own business.

We have our own troubles too.

But we worked everything out
with a psychologist.

- And now we have the perfect balance.
- Neighbors!

- We definitely need the elevator.
- That's because you live upstairs.

Why should I have to pay for it?

You use the elevator
to clean Taras' place.

Of course. My legs are bad.

But I only use it once a week
when there's power.

And when there isn't, I wait.

What if there's no power for a whole day?

I'm patient.

You have nothing to do.
You can sit by the entrance all day.

I'm coming home from work at night

with two bags of groceries
to the fifth floor.

So, you've got the energy
to eat all that food,

but not to carry it upstairs?

Oh, Hrysha, I've got energy.
You'll see soon enough, I'm telling you.

Wait, wait. Don't get sidetracked.

3 by 4 is 12, right?

2.5 by 6 is 15.

That's a total of 25 square meters
of tile. I'm for the elevator.

Well, then let everyone speak.

Neighbors, you know,
I have a dog that can't walk upstairs.

The elevator is literally
a matter of life and death for me.

Otherwise, I don't know,
I might have to put it down.

It's about time.

Yes, I agree, we need an elevator.

We support the elevator.
We support the elevator, 100%.

Put your hand down.
You only have one apartment.

It's also a matter of life and death.

I can't carry 25 tiles up.

- I'll collapse.
- I'm against.

Go ahead, collapse.

I'm against it too.

Electricity in the house
is more important than an elevator.

- Halyna Vasylivna?
- Against.

Why should we suffer
because of your elevator?

I vote for electricity.
At least to watch the marathon.

Cook something for my granddaughter.
I need my oven. That's more important.

Exactly.

- Do you need an elevator?
- No, sell it.

Four to four.

Kyrylo, this is a serious matter.

Tell me, do you want the elevator to work?

You'll never see it working.

Kids play in it all the time,
or some woman…

Or you're riding with your dog.

Or loading construction materials
for half an hour.

Honestly, it's easier for me to walk up.

So,

Semen Ivanovych.

I walk to my second floor.

Even when the elevator works.
It's good for the heart.

Read Amosov. I still want to live.

The main thing is,
to have someone to live for.

I hope my hydrangea

will bring meaning to my life
and move in with me.

But her legs hurt.

Climbing to the second floor
will be tough for her.

So I'm for the elevator.

Wait. You'll be waiting for 100 years.

- I'm patient.
- Five against four.

Phew, the elevator wins.

Writing it down.

Bravo!

Well done! Well done! All right then.

We're screwed.
Forget about your stove and fridge.

When the kids ask for food,
send them to ride the elevator.

And forget about your hair.
Either walk like me,

or like Chuchundra.

All right, calm down.
I'm sure we'll find some solution.

We won't, because I'm completely against
the generator now.

Go, write it.
I said, write to those blockheads.

- To whom?
- In the building's group chat. Write, go.

You, curtain-tiles.
We decided not to buy the generator.

- Hrysha.
- What?

Should we look for some more chairs?

We should.

My legs are tired from standing.

- Do you need help?
- No, we'll manage ourselves.

All right,
give me a marker and some paper.

We need to organize everything.
15 kW generator.

The elevator takes ten.

Plant-printer. Well, I might just decide
to go for the chairs myself.

And I will. Because these neighbors
are driving me crazy.

We need the elevator.

"I have a dog.
I have kids, I have a hair dryer."

Because I'm the only one with long hair.

And the worst part
is that one of these desperate people

scratched my car.

Iryna, did you hear?

Was the camera
at the kindergarten working?

I have the generator.

- Let's check.
- Review an entire day?

- I'll give you access; you can check.
- Thanks.

Everything's clear with the generator.

We should just leave,
we're not solving anything.

Hrysha, I have
an interesting proposition for you.

Iryna, you're playing with fire.
I understand you're an impressive woman,

and this is all leading to that, but…

The proposition concerns the neighbors

and the generator.

All right.

Tell me.

Yellow tile? I don't know.

No, Anichka, I'm not arguing.

The dog peed.

Oh, no, no,
this isn't about the yellow tile.

The tile is perfect.

Pasha, do you need sugar?

- Five.
- Here are the kids' cups.

We calculated the amount
of available watts per apartment.

It really looks like a floor plan.

Were there no chairs?

- What chairs?
- None.

Oh, none. No chairs.
We searched and kept looking for them.

Thanks.

The fifth one was unnecessary.

Neighbors,
we have 800 watts per apartment.

But that's the upper limit.

If everyone consumes at a maximum,

- the generator might not hold up.
- I don't understand.

800, 500 watts, kilowatts.

Tell me, will I be able
to turn on my stove?

No.

What about the washing machine? A kettle?

- No.
- Then just say it's not 800 but 0.

Well, not 0, not 0.
800 is enough for lights,

a TV, a router,

- charging phones, a laptop.
- What about a hair dryer?

- No.
- An iron?

No.

Nadiyochka, what's the matter?

At least we have an elevator.

Throw your hair back, the doors closed,

and you're pulling your hair between them.

Like a curling iron.

Those are all energy-intensive devices.
They need a kilowatt or more.

- A kilowatt is a thousand watts.
- Why are you confusing me?

Don't forget there are basic appliances

that consume power
even when we're not home.

Like a fridge, it's always plugged in.

Turn on the generator--
bam, minus 300 watts per apartment.

In reality, we don't have 800 free watts,

- it's less.
- You could unplug the fridge.

And hang a bag of groceries
out the window. Problem solved.

Our fridge is built-in.

Ours is directly wired to the network.

Cut the cord, strip it, add a plug,

and set up an outlet.

Come on, no one's going to do that.

And I'm not hanging anything
out the window. I have a big family.

Five pots! How can I hang them?

- Put them on the balcony.
- It's warm there.

Open the window.

Why did we install heated floors
on the balcony, then?

To heat the street?

Oh, tell me, did you go
for water or electric heating?

I want water heating,
like in the bathroom.

But they say pipes
can burst on the balcony.

Neighbors, the floors,
let's return to our topic.

Anyway, the fridge is a crucial appliance.

Wow, so it's even more important
than the elevator, right?

Anyone have a power bank?

What power bank?
We're discussing important matters here.

Kids these days…

They're only interested
in phones, videos, and power banks.

They don't care about
their neighbors at all.

Anton, you're mistaken.
There's no way a fridge uses 300 watts.

But there are other appliances
that are always plugged in.

The router.

Anton,

we need to find solutions to make
everything work,

not reasons why it won't.

Right now, my fridge uses 120 watts.

Oh, it talks! How do you know that?

I have a smart home system installed.
Here's the app, it shows everything.

Wow, kids these days.

I can turn off my fridge

- remotely if needed.
- Impressive!

My wife always worries
that she forgot to turn off the iron.

I drove back from Uman once because of it.

Get one of these, it's Ukrainian-made.
You'll even get cashback for it.

Thank you so much.

- Listen, I still don't understand--
- This is for you.

If it's not 300 but 120,
can I turn on my stove?

No, with generator power,
only 700 watts per apartment remain.

But we all need at least a kilowatt.

So what now?

If there's no ideas,

let's go home.

No generator, no headaches.

- I have a suggestion.
- Let's hear it.

- But you probably won't like it.
- Well?

Maybe not, forget it.

No, what do you mean "forget it"?

You've intrigued us so much,
I won't sleep tonight.

- Just say it, Iryna.
- All right.

So, we could exclude three apartments

from generator power in our building.

That's about 2.5 kW

- to distribute among everyone else.
- But how can you exclude someone?

Who would be excluded?

How much would that give
per apartment?

It would be about 300 watts
extra per apartment,

plus 700, making exactly 1 kW.

I still don't get it. The stove?

A small burner.

If you only turn on one, it should work.

- That's enough for me.
- And the hair dryer?

- On the lowest setting.
- All right, good.

What do you mean, good?
Who did you decide to disconnect?

Tell me,
is everyone from the building here?

Apartment 17 is missing.

- And no one's been in 28 for six months.
- Right.

So, we exclude them, as they've moved out.

And then there are those

who regularly attend meetings,

but never contribute financially.

I'm on a minimum pension.

So what, should there be special
conditions for you?

Look at Halyna Vasylivna,
she's retired too, but she contributes.

But her pension is higher.

You should have
worked harder for a better pension.

- I worked.
- Where did you work?

Living off your poor wives.

Now you have the minimum.

I also clean Taras's place.
I work to make money.

And I bet you won't give money
for diesel for the generator either.

That's obvious, right?

How can you leave someone
without light in winter?

You can
if they avoid their responsibilities.

And by the way, that's in
the HOA charter. It's clear to me.

I don't need much.

I turn on one lightbulb
and spend all day soldering.

"I turn it on, I solder." How much power
does a soldering iron use?

A 100-watt soldering iron.

Oh, please, an old Soviet soldering iron

probably uses a ton of energy.

All right, it's clear
Ivanovych needs to be disconnected.

It'll be easier for you too. No more

- financial burden.
- I'm against it.

Well, if this is the only way to ensure
everyone has electricity,

then disconnect our apartment.

Are you serious?
Who's more important to you?

Maybe you'd rather live with the old man?

- Oksana, are you serious?
- What do you mean?

You know how hard it is for me,
and you want us to be left

- without power?
- I just want us to remain decent people.

In the dark, I'll turn into an animal.

I'd never treat you this way.

All right. We'll disconnect
Semen Ivanovych. And those…

freeloaders too.

No, we're not disconnecting him.
That's wrong.

Oh, so now you're a saint?

Why do you get to decide what's right
and wrong? Everyone here agrees.

I'm against it. Nadya?

I think the decision
to disconnect Semen Ivanovych is immoral.

See?

So, you're voting against?

We won't even participate

in this outrageous vote.

Abstaining.

Nadya, that's basically
the same as agreeing.

No. It's entirely different.

We're above this pettiness.

I don't know.

We do all live under the same roof.

Although…

there might suddenly be other

candidates for disconnection.

I'm for it too. I'm for it.

Because life is like that.
It's either you,

or them.

Let's vote.

All right, write it in the chat.

Apartment 17, 28.
What's Semen Ivanovych's?

- 20.
- Not connected to the generator.

But they can use the elevator.

- Write it?
- Well?

Of course. It's a final decision.

Neighbors must be informed.

This feels awkward.

They're the only ones who like my posts.

Well, you voted for it.

So go ahead, write it. Exactly.

"We've decided to leave you without
electricity until the end of winter."

And your signature line,
"Hugs and kisses."

Can I resign as the chat moderator?

Fine. Let someone else write it.

All right, Anton, stop clowning around.

Fulfill your duties as HOA head.

Hrysha, why do you need a whole kilowatt?

Didn't you get by
just fine with 300 watts?

And what about charging my Nissan?

You want to charge your electric car
from the shared generator?

No, it's okay
for someone to dry their hair,

but charging my baby is not allowed?

All right, neighbors,
let's not waste time.

- What's left to decide?
- Just some technical issues.

Connection, maintenance.

Who will turn it on, who will refuel it?

I haven't thought about that.

It still needs to be bought,

somehow delivered, and stored.

Oh, by the way,
we need to find a place for it.

All right, stop. Let's not discuss that.
You're the HOA head.

Decide it yourself.
We delegate this to you. No voting.

No voting. I'm for it.

- Me too.
- I'm against.

- What's this now?
- The diesel stinks.

And it all wafts up to my first floor.

Mom!

Mom!

The power's out.

We wouldn't have
figured it out without you.

- What happened?
- The power's out.

Got it. Thanks.

See?

All right, someone help me
start the generator.

Start the generator?
Is it like fetching chairs?

Starting the generator
is starting the generator.

No, I'm out.
Let Pasha handle it. I'm taking a break.

Don't you find this odd?

According to the schedule, the power
wasn't supposed to go off again today.

I'm not talking about the power,
I mean the shouting.

- What shouting?
- From our apartment.

Ah, we'll be quieter.

Honey, you know I don't shout.

Passion can make us overlook things,

- like raising our voices.
- I don't shout.

Maybe she made it up just to annoy you?

- How can she hear through walls?
- Our walls are thin.

I can hear her cat meowing.

- Cats can be loud sometimes.
- But I'm not.

Mom, why can't we go home?

My darling,
Mom would love to go home with you.

But dad can't handle this.

So Mom has to stay
and supervise everything.

Exactly.

Maybe we'll have to kick out
a couple more decent people.

Mom didn't kick anyone out.

Mom is just putting our family first

and doing everything to keep our light on.

You want to watch cartoons, don't you?

Hey, kiddo.

- Hi.
- Is it your Wolfie again?

We have fun even without power, don't we?

Yeah.

And the best cartoons
are on our wall, right?

Yeah.

And Mom should go kick someone out, right?

I propose hiring someone
to manage the generator maintenance.

Will you pay?

Listen, objectively,
it's cheaper for everyone to chip in

than to carry a 50-liter canister
and refuel diesel.

Hiring someone
when the house is full of men

is, excuse me, nonsense.

By the way, I know a guy,

he has a gas station
a few blocks from here.

And his diesel is four hryvnias cheaper.

- The yellow one, near the garages?
- Yeah.

I went there. My engine died after that.

No. We're talking about
different gas stations.

We need to solve strategic issues.

Anton, as the head of the HOA,
deals with tactics.

It's our wise decision.

I didn't understand what he said
at the end, but I agree with the rest.

I'm not sure we can trust Anton
with important decisions.

Oksanochka, you were the one who pushed
him to be the head of the HOA.

What's up with you?

Please, no beeping. Just knock
on the door and come back to the website.

What did he just say, huh?

Even I didn't understand.

This is what Semen Ivanovych has been
soldering all day long.

The soldering iron is 100 watts.
I checked.

And if we think that some hairstyle, soup,

or free electric car ride is more
important than this,

then we should all leave
and never meet again.

So, uh…

Who knows…

why he's…

and what he's soldering them for?

- Maybe the old man is selling them?
- I know.

And you suggest we take your word for it?

He gives them to my husband.

Kolya is in the military. And I was
wondering why I haven't seen him.

Why didn't you say so?

Because I didn't want special treatment.

No special conditions for me.

I don't know about you,

but I think

Semen Ivanovych shouldn't be disconnected.

- That's obvious. What are the options?
- Then why did you?

You abstain?

Well, at least we didn't vote in favor.

Huh?

White collars!
As soon as they step in crap,

they always try
to wipe it on someone else.

You brought this crap here

with your own hands
and scattered it among us.

How could we not step in it?

I found an extra kilowatt for all of you.

You were all glowing with joy. So why are
you throwing this crap at me now?

And don't tell me you were thinking of us.

Not you. I was thinking of Nadya.

Oh, Hrysha, if you hadn't
suggested this stupid idea,

none of this would've happened.

- Oksana.
- What?

You were the loudest advocate for this
stupid idea, weren't you?

I had more compelling reasons.

Can you at least not argue now?

We're all guilty. Those who voted.

Those who abstained.
And those who didn't convince others.

We just need to admit it.
Nobody gets disconnected.

All right, we're back to square one.

These arguments about the elevator again.
Next, it'll be about whether

to connect the generator or not.
It's a waste of time.

If this is all for the elevator,

then why do we even need the generator?

I told you so!

Return my drone.

Semen Ivanovych, come in and sit down.

I think everyone agrees you're staying.

I'm not returning to this snake pit.

Grandpa,

sorry, we've gone off the rails a bit.
It happens to everyone.

Shut your mouth, Judas.

Senya, sit down and stop showing off.

You're lucky…

to have this…

Hortensia Bonfire among you.

It would be interesting to create
something like the Code of Hammurabi.

Pasha, are you back
to the Roman Empire again?

What?

Fear Marduk, it's the Sumerians!

The Code of Hammurabi
is the earliest legal code in the world

that has survived to this day.

You know, friends,

such original laws,

especially the principle of Talion:

If a son struck his father,

the sinful hand itself was blamed.

And that hand…

was cut off.

We need some fresh air. He's delirious.

What I mean is,

we can create our own unique code of laws.

Who can use electrical appliances
and when,

then nobody needs to be disconnected.

Energy will be enough for everyone.

Our people don't even follow old laws.

They smoke in front of "no smoking" signs.

Come on, this is brainstorming.
We shouldn't fear proposing

even the most idiotic ideas.

Thank you. Thank you all.

Or did you mean to offend me?
Well, never mind.

For example, friends, someone needs
to vacuum up dust after drilling.

What kind of damn drilling?

It's an example.

Dear sweet neighbors, let's try

to communicate calmly, like human beings,
without insults, without shouting.

Let's!

But let's agree not to spout nonsense.

All right. Friends…

if someone, for example,

wants to boil a kettle,

we write "Iryna, kettle…

from 10 to 11."

Why would I need
to use a kettle for an hour?

It was an example.
Let's not talk about the kettle.

If one of us decides to use, let's say,

a certain appliance

that consumes one kilowatt,

at any given time,
well, at a specific time, then

everyone else limits their consumption
during that time.

Someone, somewhere, to someone.

Can you be more specific?

Damn it, you don't need specifics!

As far as I can see,
my specific examples are clear!

- We agreed not to yell.
- How can I not yell at you?

How can I not yell?
I teach at a school, six lessons a day,

twenty kids in each!

- They don't drive me as crazy as you do!
- The kettle's boiled.

Actually, it's a workable idea.

It's similar
to the simultaneity coefficient.

According to this coefficient,

neighbors never use
high-power appliances at the same time.

So there's always a power reserve.
That's what I'm saying!

God!

Look, if we create

our unique code of laws

and follow them,

everyone will have enough!

Oksana, let's do this.

What time do you need the stove?

Around 7:00 p.m. for an hour.

Write it down: Oksana,

stove from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

A whole hour?

Have you ever cooked for four people?

- Can you do it faster?
- That's your problem, not mine.

- That's the prime time. I need it too.
- What for?

I'm ironing clothes for tomorrow.

Then get up earlier and iron them.

Why should I lose sleep because of you?

- Cook in the morning.
- And what will I eat in the evening?

- What you cooked in the morning.
- It'll be cold.

- Then heat it up.
- The stove won't work.

Your spineless hubby will swallow it cold.

Well, better than living with a cat
instead of a husband.

- Halyna, did you hear that?
- Stop!

- Maybe you should take magnesium?
- What damn magnesium?

You'll drive anyone mad.

Even a calm, level-headed person
would snap at you.

I agree, I agree.

Maybe the idea to cut off Grandpa Semen

was a…

bad idea.

But someone needs to be cut off

to find that kilowatt.

Uh-huh.

I agree. I was just about
to suggest cutting you off.

- Why me?
- You're the most toxic among us.

Who?

You're always dissatisfied,
shifting blame,

poisoning the friendly atmosphere.

In our company, we call it ‘toxic.'
A toxic employee.

The worst feedback
comes from your neighbors.

Shut your feedback.

See? Aggression. Totally unhinged.

Me? Unhinged?

You're the one living

in some warped world. Let's buy it.

Let's chip in. Let's hire someone.

Because I'm Taras.
I don't count money. And you?

So you work in IT…

Or wherever they pay crazy money
for feedback and babbling?

None of that makes you a king.

Got it? So stop lecturing us here.

Oh, I'm Taras!

I get paid in dollars.

I take taxis with my sunshine.

Dine at restaurants.

If you're so cool,
why are you living here with us?

It feels like I'm back in school.
Exactly like Class 9-G.

Maybe I don't earn the big bucks you do,

but I run an honest business.

I work hard, I bring cars for people.

Not sipping lavender lattes
in a fancy office.

- Sole proprietor or LLC?
- What did you call me?

I'm asking, how do you pay your taxes?

As a sole proprietor or as an LLC?

What taxes? Sole proprietor, LLC.
Do I look like a fool?

No.

But you're treating us like fools.

Parking on the sidewalk is fine
because people will walk around.

Smoking on the stairs is okay
because others will put up with it.

Not paying taxes is fine
because you don't owe anyone anything.

Everyone owes you,
but you want smooth roads,

free healthcare, and a strong army.

Yet you're not planning
to do a damn thing for it yourself.

Do you know how many cars
I've delivered to the guys?

Do you know how much
my company and I donate,

so you can deliver those cars?

You both could be fighting instead.
So much energy wasted.

Take off your jacket.

I agree we should cut off Hrysha.

Not even because he acts

like this is his personal yard,
his private house,

and we're all guests.
No, not because of that.

Simply because charging his car
is the least important task.

Especially a car parked so obnoxiously.

Of course.
Your task is always the most important.

Maybe we should just put the generator
directly in your apartment?

Because life is so hard for you.
You've got kids.

As if having kids is a diagnosis.

And we're supposed
to pity you for having them.

I don't need your pity. I pity you.

You can't even realize
your reproductive potential,

and you spit venom at those who can.

I have two grown children.
Shut your mouth, harlot.

My head is already aching. Why?

Why are you all yelling?

- We've learned it from Nadinka.
- I'm not yelling!

Sure, sure. Keep lying.

No shame, no guts to admit it.

Why are you picking on her?

They're cutting the power. It's dark.

What else can young people do?

At least they're not yelling in the dark.

They're moaning from
2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon.

God, I come back
from daycare during lunch,

and I hear this symphony.
You can set a clock by them.

We're at work.
We're not home at that time.

Nadya, I told you she's mistaken.

It must be someone else
in the building making noise.

- It's definitely not us.
- We don't even have time for that.

One second.

Sorry, but are you…

Do you have a girlfriend?

Bald guy, you're scaring me.

No, I'm not…

Taras, my living room wall
is your bedroom wall.

So it's definitely you.

You heard we're not home.

Maybe some of you aren't, but someone is.

- What's his zodiac sign?
- Aries.

Are you out of your minds?

Are you really going to fall
for this cheap provocation?

How else do you explain it?

Why should I explain
the bullshit of this crazy woman

hearing cries from an empty apartment?

It's not empty.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

You come home for lunch.

I come to change
and then leave to play tennis.

Maybe. Maybe.

Maybe he plays tennis at home.

It does sound like
a tennis player's grunts.

Now I see why
you don't tell me anything about tennis.

Honey, I don't tell you
because you're not interested.

What would you gain from knowing
I perfected my backhand

- or aced two serves?
- Nothing for me.

That info would give me
at least a tiny reason

to doubt Iryna's words right now.

Taras, I'm sorry.

Next time you meet Elina Svitolina,

ask her to record
a video greeting for class 9-A.

My students are big fans.

- And who's that?
- I don't know her.

I mean, I know she's
a great Ukrainian tennis player.

But we're not acquainted.
Pasha, please, don't get involved.

Just in case.

No need to be so nervous.
Your movements betray your lies.

Okay. Here's Max.
Ask him where we go, when we go,

where we have dinner afterward.
He'll tell you everything.

I don't need scripted answers
from your assistant.

He'll just say what you tell him to say.

You know what annoys me?

I know I have no one but you.

And if we believe this crazy woman,
then you're hiding someone.

Maybe you should see
a psychologist? "Work it all out."

Me?

Yes, because no one else has the keys.

Except Halyna Vasylivna.

Are you out of your minds?

Why do you believe her but not me?

Because you lied to me
about it once before.

How can you be so stupid
and believe everyone?

So, she's the smart one, huh?

Nadya!

Perfect relationship.

Did you do this on purpose?

To break us up? Knock us out of the game?

You'd ruin a relationship over a kilowatt?

Or do you just feed on people's misery?

So, you cheated. Big deal.

Shut your mouth.

Maracuja.

All right, let's take a smoke break.

I'll post in the group chat.

Can I smoke here?

I'll stick my head out the window
so it doesn't waft in.

If you fall, no one will miss you.

"Started smoking
in the kindergarten at 7:58 p.m."

Our businessman is so inventive.

He invented an entire tennis story,
just to bring a girl home.

He didn't bring anyone home.

I sit by the entrance and see everything.
He comes home alone.

And you couldn't have said this
three minutes ago?

- I couldn't.
- Why not?

I didn't want to escalate
an already tense situation.

But this means
your mistress lives in our building.

Neighbors,
if someone overheard you out of context,

it would seem
like you're all completely unhinged.

And I'm in context, and honestly,

it feels exactly the same.

Have you all lost your minds?
She made it up. I have no one.

- It's obvious.
- Then why are you still lying?

Your Nadya left and won't come back.

Not that I wanted to break up
another couple, but Anton,

you said you're definitely
not the one making noise

because you don't have time for that.

If you don't have time,
maybe someone else does?

What are you rambling about?

Although, maybe.
I have an excellent memory for sounds.

You can each moan twice in turn,

and I'll identify exactly who it is.

Stop it.

- What's your goal here?
- Her goal is to get herself cut off.

It takes real talent
to turn everyone against you.

- Cut me off?
- Yes.

Have you forgotten?
Who provided you with this meeting space?

So now you think
you deserve special treatment?

Let me create a poll in Viber.
You know, three options:

Light moaning, medium moaning,
and wow, heavy moaning.

Oh, for God's sake.

Finally!

- I know a guy.
- Does Taras moan with him?

No, he's on the switch.
He controls our district's power cuts.

We slip him something,
and he helps us out.

- Our building won't get cut off.
- How much is "something"?

I was just asking.

- A hundred and fifty.
- And the generator?

We buy it for 250.

And there's a 100,000 left for a barrier.

Neighbors, I won't say this is a bribe.

Appealing to your conscience
is futile. But it's risky.

What if he doesn't keep his word?
Or he'll get fired.

No way, it's rock solid. There's already
a guy who's using this scheme.

Is it the same guy?

No, no, this guy paid off that other guy
who does the switching.

And now
the switch guy doesn't switch him off.

I'm already lost in your "guys."

Anyway, the scheme works.

We'll pay up and won't be like the rats

- who get their neighbors cut off.
- Oh, so you're suggesting bribery

when there's an energy crisis
in the country,

just to charge your car?
And we won't feel like rats?

So what do you propose?
To sit here till morning?

We'll kill each other soon enough.

Halya, I won't let anyone hurt you.

But it's a bribe! A bribe!

You promised not to appeal
to my conscience.

- I tried, just a little.
- Back in our days…

Grandpa Semen, please, don't tell us

there were no bribes in the Soviet times.

I'm not saying that.
That's what everything relied on.

You'd go to the clinic for a certificate,
pay. To the housing office, pay.

But it's not Soviet times now.

Oh, really, Anton. And what about
the cognac and chocolates you gave me

to get your daughter
into this kindergarten?

- That wasn't a bribe?
- What? I didn't give you anything.

It was just a token of gratitude.

Well, if it makes you feel better,

let's call it a token
of gratitude for the electricity.

150,000 as a thank you.

Done.

- It's time to pick up my son from karate.
- Don't threaten us.

- We agree.
- We disagree.

- Maybe you disagree, but we agree.
- Who's "we"?

Me and the kids.

And you can sit in the dark
in a separate room.

In the Roman Empire, bribery

was punishable by death.

Why are you being so dramatic?
Why are you being dramatic, you fool?

I feel guilty.

Corruption starts from the top, Pasha.

It's all those corrupt officials up there.
What are ordinary people supposed to do?

Just live by the principles

imposed by the system.

Exactly. Anton.

Listen, we need to convert
some funds to cash,

so I can pay that guy.

Yulia handles finances and accounting.

Got it. Yulia!

There will be no bribe.

That's not for you to decide, Yulia.

We live in a democracy, thank God.

Then praise Pericles. He's the ideologue.

There's no money in the reserve fund.

What do you mean? How?

Because I bought a generator.

- Whoa!
- What?

Look at her. We're here bickering,
tying ourselves in knots,

and she quietly slipped away
to do everything in secret.

I bought the generator a week ago.

Return it!

- Return it now!
- Impossible.

It's already delivered.

It's behind the boiler room,
covered with a tarp. Didn't you see it?

I've never seen
such disrespect for neighbors.

Back in the day,
you'd get beaten up for that.

According to the HOA charter,
you had no right to do this.

And you're the one
teaching us how to live.

So righteous, almost a saint.
But you're the worst of all.

We need to cut her off.

You should be thanking me.

You had six months to resolve this.
Six months and did nothing.

Nothing!

You're only good at arguing
in Viber over nonsense.

But no one takes responsibility.

You just shift blame to each other.
Dissing, and time keeps ticking.

Why didn't you gather us earlier?

Don't start now.
I called for a meeting two weeks ago.

No one came.

And now, what's the point of this meeting?

Look, we needed to paint the benches.

You met three times
and couldn't agree on a color.

That's important.

- I liked blue.
- Why blue?

See? You can't agree on anything.

But you're uniquely good at one thing.

Uniting only when it comes to doing
something nasty.

Kicking out the grandpa? United.
Paying a bribe? United.

Everyone only cares about themselves.
And others? Forget it.

Are you telling us this? You?

You bought the generator
with our money! For yourself!

Maybe for myself, but you'll all use it.

I bought it because I knew
you'd fight over nothing again,

and everything would fall apart
as it always does.

I knew it, for God's sake,
that's why I bought the generator.

If only you knew
how tired I am of your rudeness,

your whining, and your fake morality.

You make me sick, just sick.

So, whether you like it or not,

the decision is made.

- But according to the char--
- By me!

"Democracy doesn't suit idiots."

Aristotle. 5th century BC.

You know,
I think Yulia did the right thing.

Bravo.

A true leader and the only
sensible person among all of you.

Taras, go to hell.

Hrysha. 21st century AD.

Well, maybe, technically,
she did the right thing.

But according
to the homeowners' charter…

Oh!

And where was the HOA head

when money from his fund
was spent on a generator?

The HOA head removed himself
from the situation.

I approached him three times.

And he just kept postponing it,
coming up with excuses.

Very indecisive.

You… Did you do this on purpose?

Do you even want anything in life?

I pushed you to become the HOA head

so you could at least
prove yourself somehow.

So you could do something for the family.
Why did you mess it all up?

- I don't want your generator.
- What do you mean, "don't want"?

Did you even ask me
if I wanted to be the HOA head?

Did you?

No, you didn't.

And I don't want your generator either.

What even holds us together?

What do we even talk about
in the evenings, huh?

I'll tell you.
We don't talk in the evenings.

We just stare at our phones
or watch some TV series.

At home, we've started texting
each other on Messenger.

Yesterday, you texted me
from the next room on Telegram,

asking me to bring you a marshmallow.

I shouted back, "A whole one or half?"

And you texted again,
saying, "Make it two."

- Anton--
- Let me finish!

You think I like walking up the stairs?

Or eating cold buckwheat? I don't, Oksana.

I was terrified of the dark as a kid,
almost peeing myself.

But when we don't have electricity,
at least we start talking to each other.

Asking how the day went.
Sharing interesting stories.

Because there's nothing else
to do without light…

I'm your Instagram, and you're my Netflix.

I'm your Nikolayev Vanyok,
and you're my Lachen.

I'm yours, and you're mine.
Do you get that?

At least we've started making love again.

Is that Oksana moaning under you?

So, it ended with a fight after all.

Just like in the old days.

Why did you get in the way? You old fool.

Where they hit, they kiss too.

Sorry for invading your personal space.

But I need to know,
was that you yelling at lunch?

Screaming?

For now.

Not sober.

Tomorrow, I will go to Hlyvaha.

Thank you.

Anton?

And Petryk came back
from karate on his own.

Pour me some. My granddaughter
hasn't been answering for two hours.

I'm worried something happened.

She went out somewhere.

Probably with her boyfriend. The youth.

She said she'd stay home,
cook something nice for us.

Watch TV together.
No, Grandma, and they left.

She's 20 years old. Maybe she doesn't want
something nice or your TV.

Maybe she just wants you gone.

Not completely gone.

Just out of the house.

Hello, hello, Sonya?

Sonya?

I can barely hear anything.

Hello?

Bad connection.

That's it.

Maybe she's stuck in the elevator?

What would she be doing in the elevator?
We're on the first floor.

- And where are the keys to our apartment?
- At home, as usual.

Oh.

Oh, dear. Oh, no.

Well, here we are. Sorry for the wait.

So many calls when the lights go out.

Young people.

Where were you going in the elevator?

Oh, nowhere.

Really.

Keys?

Sorry.

- I didn't notice.
- It's fine.

We've all been young once.

Nadya, listen.

Aqueducts, young man,

come from the Latin words:

"aqua," water, and "duc," to lead.

Meaning, "I lead water."

- A water conduit.
- So.

Finally, everyone's here.

Let's summarize.

It's clear that we won't be able to reach
an agreement.

So, to avoid further disputes,
I propose…

a secret vote.

To choose the apartment
that we won't connect to the generator.

According to the HOA charter…

That's actually
in line with the HOA charter.

Wait a minute. I have a proposal.

Let's skip proposals for now.

For Mrs. Bonfire.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Here you go.

A quick clarification.

To avoid messing up the vote.

Are we marking
with a check mark or a plus?

A name.
Pasha, we write the name of the person

we want to disconnect from the generator.

Got it.

Young man, remind me of your name.

Kyrylo.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

So, I hope everyone agrees
this decision is final and irreversible?

Yes.

Kyrylo.

It wasn't me, honestly.

Hrysha.

Yulia.

Taras and Nadya.

Semen.

Seriously, you guys?

Halyna.

Iryna.

Pasha. Hugs and kisses.

Anton and Oksana.

Wait, did someone count in parallel?

It can't be that everyone got one vote.

Check again.

I'm not ready
to start this discussion again.

True, it needs verification.
This isn't nonsense.

I didn't know who to vote for,
so I voted for myself.

And I voted for myself.

If I'm so annoying to everyone, then…

We voted for ourselves too.

To atone for not standing up
for Semen Ivanovych

when he was being ousted.

You wanted this.

So I voted for us.

Wait.

Did we all end up voting for ourselves?

What's that about?
I voted against Grandpa.

Oh, you. I voted against Halyna.

Thought if we disconnect this flower girl,

she'd definitely move in with me.

And you? Why'd you vote for yourself?

Me?

I have an EcoFlow.

Are you kidding, Kyrylo?

Neighbors.

I'm asking you, are you kidding?

Neighbors, let's behave
according to the HOA charter.

Let's vote on who'll punch Kyrylo first.

I'm sick of the word "vote."
But I'm in.

I wanted to suggest disconnecting me.
But you shut me up yourselves.

Hrysha, sit down, please.

Kyrylo, sorry.

Dear neighbors,
based on the voting results,

everyone has understood everything.

I propose not to exclude anyone,
except Kyrylo, of course.

And just come to an agreement.
Pasha, where are our rules?

We'll rewrite them neatly.

I'll still add them to Google Docs
and share the link.

Please, son,
so there won't be another fight,

talk properly.

I'm ready to wake up earlier

to do the ironing,
and leave the evening time for Oksana.

Oh no, Iryna,

I'm ready to wake up earlier to cook,

and give the evening time to you.

- I insist.
- I do too.

Don't argue with me.

We're irrational,
even when we try to be rational.

As a schoolteacher,
I'll give you some advice.

Decide on "paper, scissors, rock".

I can get up earlier too.
Let's say, at 7 a.m. Is that okay?

Yes, thank you.

I won't charge my car.

But if it's absolutely necessary,
just an hour,

two, maybe at night.

Understood.

Guys, I'm writing that Hrysha is…

for 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

- Hairdryer?
- We're okay with any time.

Perfect. 4:00 a.m.

Now, we still have
the drill to assign, friends.

To hell with it.

Just need to sign, and that's it.

Let's do it, let's do it.

This is according to the HOA charter.

Young man.

Photo.

The decision is made.

Sending it to the chat.

"Hugs and kisses," I added that myself.

Oksanochka, our time hasn't come yet.

Oh, come on,
a few minutes won't change anything.

Darling, I need to warn
the chat about the hairdryer.

Nadyunia, I have a call.
Two minutes won't hurt.

Here's your blonde.

Thank you.

No problem.
You'll drag it upstairs yourself.

Careful, Pavlo. Pavlo, careful. Thank you.

- Good day, Stepan Ivanovych.
- Good day.

Mr. Semen, how are you?

All is good.

Pavlo, careful…

Working even on Saturday?

Going to the theater.

For The Konotop Witch.

Never heard of it.

Oh, Semen Ivanovych, Nadya opened
a GoFundMe for drones for you.

- Whatever people donate, I'll double it.
- Thank you!

- Have a great day!
- Same to you.

How's your baby?

Oh, a guy I know at the car service
polished everything up,

it's as good as new.

Did you find out who scratched it?

- Oksana?
- Oksana.

So what?

- So what?
- Rightfully so.

- Good day.
- Need help?

Nah, why bother?
A young, strong guy can manage himself.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Hello? Hi, Anichka.

NO SMOKING!
OR I'LL WHACK YOU

What do you mean
you don't like the yellow one?

No, no, really. It's not a problem.

Semen Ivanovych.

What, have you never seen
a woman in lingerie?

Who's that, my hydrangea?

This is for you. So you'll have something
to solder with during blackouts.

And you?

Senya, if they're giving, take it.

Now that's a rule I can live by.
