Life Almost Wonderful

The Liliev brothers share one surname, but that’s where the similarity ends. The oldest brother Alexander is a hairdresser who likes to wear make-up and compete in hairdressing contests. The middle brother Bobby has chosen to live as a monk, but he's finding it difficult to adhere to his vows. The youngest brother James is kind of macho. The only person who occasionally brings them all together is their grandmother. Each of them made very different choices in life but in spite of their very different convictions and lifestyles they have one thing in common: though the world is sometimes cruel to all of them they still consider life wonderful, happiness is still out of reach but is not more than a hope away.
