Infinity According to Florian
On the eve of his 90th birthday, Kyiv-based architect Florian Yuriev gets some bad news. The city has rented out his architectural opus magnum – an Flying-Saucer-shaped avant-garde concert hall – to a real estate developer who wants to turn it into a shopping mall. He also happens to be one of Donald Trump's Ukrainian cronies. Florian decides to quit his self imposed seclusion and try to disrupt this phony real estate deal.
