The Business Proposal is a dark stylized postmodern comedy set in 1981 Soviet Union. A routine meeting of the editorial staff of a student newspaper turns out to be a small window into supposedly nonexistent underbelly of the Soviet life. The story slowly pushes the envelope from a misleadingly mundane opening through a twist to an absurd and surreal finale. Editorial staff wraps a meeting; only the two stay for a private chat - the editor and one of the writers, who turns out to be the editor's lover.
