Troika

Jennifer is doubly challenged--as a professional journalist, she's trapped on a pleasure boat with Russian ultra-nationalist and macho pig Vladimir Zhirinovsky, conducting an interview which turns into a battle of wills. At home, her lesbian lover teases and insults her relentlessly. Weaving together scenes that present encounters with both characters, the story reveals their unlikely similarity by employing a dispassionate style that renders each power play more insidious.
