Great Poetry

Great Poetry is about two guys who live on the outskirts of Moscow and work as cash collectors Theyre young lonely and all they have in the world is each other They spend their lives moving money for other people They attend a poetry class at the local cultural center and watch cockfights at a dorm for migrant workers Their attempts at finding poetry in the prosaic world around lead them to the conclusion that the only poetic move they can make is to rob a bank The film isnt about words or rhymes Its about friendship and betrayal and about our vicious and alien world in which anyone who tries to be honest and consistent ends up looking naïve and cruel Its about the everpresent and incomprehensible force that in spite of everything makes our life so frantic strange and lonely
