Pharmacy of Happiness

The life of three university friends, Anuar, Damir, and Askar, seemed simple and straightforward. Their goal was to graduate, become engineers, and, if lucky, party workers. But when the Union collapsed, burying their bright prospects, they must navigate a new reality dictated by the elusive allure of the 'market.' They successfully trade in video cassettes, cookies, T-shirts, bulbs - anything profitable. Drunk on money and success, they are oblivious to the larger, more dangerous predators lurking in these waters, not all of whom play fair.
