Description
Moscow, the 2020s. An open drama about millennial childhood trauma.
Dasha grew up in a prosperous family. Now she is thirty. She suffers from masked depression and domestic alcoholism. Her parents don’t know about it.
Pati grew up in a prosperous family. Now she is twenty-eight. She is addicted to random sexual relationships and doesn’t believe in love. Her parents don’t know about it.
Gleb grew up in a prosperous family. Now he is thirty-five. He is an achiever, ready to do anything for a goal, and an emotional impotent person—unable to express his feelings. His parents don’t know about it.
Prosperous families, at first glance, seem like something that doesn’t claim drama—and especially not tragedy—yet for everyone who has faced it in childhood, there is something to tell. And often this story isn’t about toys and candies, but about traumas: not obvious, barely recognizable, even seemingly superficial—but in reality, deep and painful. “After-school group” is precisely about such traumas—“non-existent” traumas of children from prosperous families.

Main themes: childhood traumas, the shadow side, conflicts with family, toxic relationships, sexual perversions, weak connection to oneself, emotional impotence, depersonalization, psychological drama.
