The film script is written by Oleg Antonov and is a free adaption of Ray Bradbury's 1958 short story The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit.
One day, they discover a black, pinstriped Gucci suit displayed in a shop window in the big city, accessible only by ferry.
Shtyr dons the suit to elevate his image, slipping into a luxury cruise ship's champagne reception and later trying to reconnect with his estranged father, a sophisticated tailor who abandoned the family.
Geka wears the suit to gain respect from his stepmother Asya, who seems to be cheating on his father; torn between disgust at her behavior and an uncomfortable attraction, he tries to win her approval.
Mute, meanwhile, uses the suit to impress Dina, a beautiful Jewish fishmonger he's infatuated with, only to find that she's using him to fend off an unwanted admirer, Artur.
