1984. The USSR. The Afghan campaign is winding down and with it, perhaps even Communism itself. It is a time of uncertainty when the strong make the rules and the weak fall in line, where the samogon flows and beauty is no defence. A young woman who is the daughter of a VIP is taken from a dance by a hunky guy and later falls into the hands of an demented army captain who imprisons and does all sorts of things to her, or rather has things done to her - and all the while his senile mother is in the same flat! It's a bit like Psycho if Bates's mother was alive. Does the girl live or does she die? Why not watch it yourself on youtube and make up your own mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3BU-_u_nvY Directed by Alexey Barabanov (Brother, Brother 2), this is one slice of rostalgia you WON'T find on Red Square. There is also an interesting discussion over vodka about atheism, if you were on the fence.
