Free Floating (Russian: Свободное плавание, Svobodnoe plavanie) is a 2006 absurdist tale about Losers. They do not achieve, they do not try, they practically do not talk, and they do not even have sex. There is nothing to tell about them, and even if there was nobody would be interested to listen. The movie got rather contradictory reviews, ranging from the revival of great traditions of Soviet realism, to "lifeless coupling of idiots and poor roads" (referring to the famous two major problems of Russia).
There are no stars in this film. Two main characters are played by young actors Aleksandr Yatsenko and Darya Ekamasova. Directed by Boris Khlebnikov, author of Koktebel.

“Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are then most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise. Protection from casual embarrassments, however, may sometimes be seasonably interposed.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Life is crazy. Now, maybe you knew this all along. But before I had children, I actually held on to the illusion that there was some sense of order to the universe.... I am now convinced that we are all living in a Chagall painting—a world where brides and grooms and cows and chickens and angels and sneakers are all mixed up together, sometimes floating in the air, sometimes upside down and everywhere.”
—Susan Lapinski (20th century)
