Annotation

End of the 2000s. Anya, a fifteen-year-old girl, lives in a small provincial town in Russia in an old private house with her grandfather. Anya is a fan of the European metal band Blood Tears of the Meat Chopper. She adores the band's lead singer Ben Spikes, believing that he is an ideal, almost God. Growing up without parents, Anya exists in isolation from the past, and her grandfather is not ready to accept the present.
