Plot synopsis

What will happen if, as a result of biological warfare, almost the entire male population will die out? Women will grieve (for a short time), and then they will unite and create a new better world - with eco-towns, renewable energy, opportunities to do whatever they want, even science and biohacking, even yoga and self-development. Reproduction now occurs by artificial insemination, and only girls are born in the new world.
But not everyone likes such a world order. Some of the surviving men and women loyal to them go to live in abandoned cities, begin to steal electricity, enjoying freedom and traditional sex. The tranquility of the ideally arranged female world is threatened when teacher Rada from the eco-city "Two Hills" meets the young "primate" Hera outside it.

Le russe au cinéma : analyse de Два холма (Dva Holma), Major Prépa, 2025

In 2140, when a biological weapon has wiped out almost the entire male population on Earth, women have established a utopian society, free from war, disease, and violence. They live in harmonious communities, the podrougi, literally friends, in eco-designed villages protected by force fields.

The podrougi procreate through artificial insemination, thanks to "sperm guardians" (носители семени) and give birth only to girls. Far from these sustainable and connected futuristic societies, the rare men who survived the virus live in chaos. Nicknamed "primates" by the podrougi, they live in small groups in the ruins of ancient cities, under the rule of the strongest.

The plot takes place in an imaginary Russian eco-utopian city called Two Hills (Два Холма). It gives this name to the series. Rada, the main heroine, is a young teacher captured by the Moscow primates before being rescued by one of them, Gera. This young man then manages to infiltrate the city by posing as a "sperm guardian." Their affair with Rada disrupts the established order.
