The young man is sure that he has everything under control, however, in the near future his future will be determined by the most ordinary rubber band for hair ...

Director’s statement
We shot Tie back/Rezinochka for the millennial generation - the loneliest generation. The fact is that, according to the latest research, it is the millennials of the generation of eternal loners who are people who are now between 26 and 40 years old. That is, we are. That is, I. Personally, this is close to me as a representative of a generation and as a person who is still going through a similar experience, I just cannot build a relationship because of my uncertainty and endless torment of choice. Our generation prefers not to take risks, entering into deep relationships with an unknown ending, and chooses loneliness instead of the difficulties associated with building them. And if, nevertheless, by some miracle we manage to find our own, then we must hold on to it. This is demonstrated by our heroes, who, however, are at different levels of confidence in their choice.
