Elena Alferova

The year is 2140. Society has undergone profound change and is now run as a matriarchy, thus removing its reliance on men. Two Hills is one of the communities founded by this new order. It is a place of perfection, where there is harmony rather than conflict, science and reason prevail and the environment is protected and respected. One of its inhabitants is the history teacher, Rada. On her birthday she takes her students on a guided tour of a special area outside of Two Hills, a place where the so-called “primates” live. The "primates" are men (and a handful of women) who have chosen to live beyond female control. However, the tranquillity of Rada’s perfectly arranged female-centric world comes under threat when she meets the young "primate", Hera. It’s a classic girl-meets-boy story, in a world where the rules have fundamentally changed.

A middle-aged man named Victor many years ago, he was forced to move to Italy to avoid persecution. Life is well established abroad: there is money, work is disputed, pasta carbonara, pizza abounds in mounds of parmesan. Despite this, Victor decides to return to Russia. The man had a wife and three children at home, who had grown inexcusably over the past 25 years, and his father was seen only in photographs from his mother's mezzanine.

The family is discouraged by the sudden appearance of the priest. Sharp-tongued children do not accept him, but they quickly realize that daddy is rich, and each of them is awkwardly balancing on the verge of financial bankruptcy.

A sensational theatrical event has been taking place in Moscow and St. Petersburg for the past year. Despite the multimillion-dollar ticket price and only one seat in the hall, there is no shortage of people who want to. Of course, because the unique format blurs the boundary between fiction and reality. You can be here, not appear. Here you can safely expose the problems of society and be inside society. Each performance is a piece―by-piece work created for a specific audience and thought out to the smallest detail by a whole team of screenwriters, psychologists and actors under the guidance of a talented director who has already staged 11 successful performances in a row.

What will happen if, as a result of biological warfare, almost the entire male population dies out? Women will grieve (for a short time), and then they will unite and create a new better world - with eco-towns, renewable energy, opportunities to do whatever they want, even science and biohacking, even yoga and self-development. Reproduction now occurs by artificial insemination, and only girls are born in the new world. But not everyone likes such a world order. Some of the surviving men and women loyal to them go to live in abandoned cities, begin to steal electricity, enjoying freedom and traditional sex. The tranquility of the ideally arranged female world is threatened when teacher Rada from the eco-city "Two Hills" meets the young "primate" Hera outside it.

Together they are trying to uncover a chain of mysterious and dangerous crimes committed either in the city slums or in the boudoir of a socialite.
