==Plot== A woman wearing a tattered uniform stumbles into a deserted city. She spots what was a restaurant and finds a can of chicken in the kitchen. A man in a different, well-worn uniform soon enters the kitchen, and after a brief scuffle, knocks her out and eats half the chicken. He later wakes the woman by dumping a pot of water on her face. He says there is no reason to fight anymore, as there are no more armies, but eventually realizes that she cannot understand him and departs. She eats the canned chicken he left for her. The woman tracks him down, and they wander down the street, coming to a movie theater. He stares at a poster for a wartime romance film and turns to smile at her. They find the skeletal remains of soldiers at the theater entrance and abruptly grab the rifles of the dead owners, simultaneously aiming at each other. After a tense moment, the man turns and walks away, slinging his weapon over his shoulder. The woman follows him, and the two walk along the city street. They stop in front of a store with a [[cocktail dress]] in the smashed display window. Upon her saying "Prekrasnyy" (Russian for "beautiful"), he hands the dress to her and tells her to put it on. She enters an office next to the department store to change into the dress, but then she notices the [[Jingoism|jingoistic]] enlistment posters on the wall and realizes it is a recruiting office for the other side. She grabs her rifle, exits the office and angrily shoots at the man twice, but misses. He gets up, looks at her incredulously, and walks away. The next morning, the man has changed out of his uniform into a [[tuxedo]] without a shirt and has found two jars of peaches. He sees the woman waiting for him, peeking up from behind a truck in the street below. He yells at her to leave, to "take your war to more suitable companions." She steps out into the street, wearing the dress. He joins her, tosses one of the jars to her and says "Prekrasnyy". She smiles, and the two walk away together.
