Gleb, the CEO of a successful transportation company, lives with his beautiful wife Galina and their son in a sleek, modernist house on the outskirts of Moscow. From the outside, everything seems perfect, but it soon becomes clear that there is little affection between the couple. Galina, in particular, is unhappy with her restricted life. Gleb begins to suspect Galina of having an affair. After hiring a private investigator, his suspicions are confirmed. He discovers the identity and address of her lover, a handsome young photographer.

A second story runs throughout the film. *Minotaur* is set against the backdrop of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is 2022, sometime after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February. The Russian army needs recruits. Some young men, especially the poorer ones, allow themselves to be recruited, while others flee. The city’s mayor—with a portrait of Putin hanging above him—instructs Gleb and other businesspeople to hand over a portion of their employees for military service. Although Gleb has little patriotic motivation (he never says anything that reveals a political opinion), this gives him an opportunity to get rid of troublesome employees.
