Artem loves Yulia, and Yulia loves Artem. They recently graduated from high school, moved to Moscow, and began their independent lives. Looking for ways to earn money in an expensive city and spurred on by Artem, they start to shoot homemade porn. Yulia become Eve Elfie, an international porn star. Their sudden popularity becomes a trap for the young couple’s stability. How does this unexpected trajectory change the course of their lives and their relationship?
