How I Was Independent
1987, Russian. Directed by Yevgeni Radkevich.
Lado really wanted to prove to the guys that he was an “independent man.” One day he was left alone in the apartment. And Lado invited his playmates to rehearse a “yard theater” performance at his home. Mom's cosmetics were used, a curtain was made from window curtains, and a wooden toy horse was turned into a goat. Now the guys were able to verify Lado’s “independence”.
