Kira is a 30-year-old successful architect living in the illusion of absolute choices while being obsessed with constructing the ideal Moscow. She is used to living life according to her own rules, but she has to face her fear of the future and inability to love. An unexpected tragedy will lead Kira to face her past with her family, start life from the scratch, and become a mother.
A quiet, intelligent, seemingly pleasant family lived their lives neither good nor bad. After death, they were sent to Purgatory - an intermediate state of souls. Here they are doomed to endless tea-drinking for small talk and solving the economic affairs of the office of Hell. To pass the recertification and determine their souls in Heaven or Hell, the family will have to complete the task of the more than cunning Lucifer: when the affairs of unallocated souls "accidentally" get at their table, how will each of them manifest themselves? Condemn? Have mercy? Or maybe he will return the papers that do not belong to him?
This film is not about Oleg Yankovsky in the usual sense: not a biography of a great actor, not a review of roles. And not the sharp facts from his personal life. Although it's all in the film: a dramatic fate, unknown pages of biography. Like any great actor, he possessed a secret - he did not tell both in the movies and in life. But his main gift was not even acting. Yankovsky was talented at making people fall in love with him. I wanted to look at him again and again: that's why they loved him and still love him.
The film adaptation of the famous novel by Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy. The story of the illegal and tragic love of a married lady Anna Karenina for a brilliant officer Vronsky.
The film speaks about universal themes of love, hate and search for love. The portrait of three women represents these three states. Tanya Neubivko has never been in love but optimistically is searing for it. Her unfortunate and even dangerous encounters with strangers on dates almost got her killed. Rita is happily engaged and planning a wedding after a routine medical check-up. Nadya is a very unhappy doctor who hates her husband and finds relief in alcohol. The story takes place in a surreal hospital with the leaking roof and hollow walls and constantly smoking doctors, where Rita is destined to die.
The story happens mainly around "The Old Arbat Street" in the center of Moscow, where always concentrate vendors, poor young artists and musicians. The hero of this film is a boy named Mitiya,who lives with eccentric elder friend in an apartment house on "The Old Arbat". In fact, people who then appear around Mitiya are all unique, eccentric and the space of the apartment house begins to have an unrealistic character as a miniature of unstable society in the end of Soviet Union.
