An actors' afterparty is disrupted by a visit from an uninvited guest; a drunken Russian officer has come to sell a canister of army petrol, but the deal turns into a vodka-drinking contest and the Russian becomes intrigued by both the attractive Milada and the comic cowardice of all the men present. The atmosphere thickens along with the clouds of cigarette smoke, the characters break, the Russian has a great time, and eventually pulls out a gun… The party gets wilder than the cast likes. The game turns into a trap, heroes into cowards, and cowards into heroes.
