Rustam is a young guy who lives alone with his mother without a father. He did not enter the road institute, and although his mother every time persuades him to find at least some work, he came up with an original way of earning. He buys a vodka set during the day and hides it in an automatic storage room, and in the evening, when alcohol is almost impossible to buy, he finds customers and resells vodka to them. With the money he earns, he spends time with his girlfriend. But one day, looking for a free compartment in the storage room, he finds bags of white powder in one of them.

Perhaps the most amazing and groundbreaking quality about The Birdcage is how removed it is from both illness and insensitivity. Whereas films preceding it were often somber stories about the tribulations of being gay in a conservatively straight world, Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May expose the fallacies of conservatism as traditional values are thrown into a more open-minded space. They don’t care how far the community has fallen so much as how high they can rebuild themselves.
