Under Electric Clouds is a Russian drama film set in 2017, where the world is on the brink of a potential massive war. The film revolves around an unfinished building located in a desolate industrial landscape. Within this setting, a diverse group of outsiders find themselves struggling to find their place in the rapidly changing society.

The film explores various interconnected storylines, creating a mosaic-like narrative that reflects the complexity of life itself. Each character represents a different aspect of Russian society and their personal struggles mirror the anxieties and uncertainties faced by the country as a whole.

One storyline follows a young woman named Sonya, who works as a mobile phone salesperson. She becomes enamored with a mysterious man named Egor, who claims to be the descendant of a wealthy family that previously owned the unfinished building. Sonya is drawn to Egor's seemingly limitless wealth and influence, but soon realizes that his past and intentions are shrouded in secrecy.

Another storyline focuses on a group of construction workers who have been tasked with completing the building. They are constantly reminded that their work represents hope and progress, yet they struggle to find meaning in their repetitive and monotonous tasks. Among this group is a middle-aged man named Nikolai, who feels disconnected from his family and society as a whole.

Meanwhile, an old man named Grigory lives in one of the few remaining apartments within the unfinished building. He spends his days reflecting on the past and lamenting the state of the world. Grigory's solitude is disrupted when a young woman named Elena seeks refuge in his apartment, escaping from her abusive husband.

As the film progresses, the characters' lives intertwine, highlighting the shared experiences and struggles that connect them. The unfinished building serves as a metaphor for both the physical and emotional state of Russia, as the country teeters on the edge of an uncertain future. Under Electric Clouds delves into themes of isolation, hope, and the search for identity in a rapidly changing society.
