Babylen Tatarsky has found a place for himself in modern times. He works at an advertising agency that introduces and adapts foreign brands for a ‘Russian mentality’. This clever and sometimes unbelievably funny film, rife with special effects and surprising revelations uses simple language to talk about a complicated situation, in which former Young Pioneers have to start a new life in the advertising industry.
The film is an adaptation of Victor Pelevin’s novel Generation ‘П’. Throughout the plot, many hallucinations are used, including Che Guevara’s speech on the degrading influence of television on humans. However, within this deformed reality a carefully reconstructed atmosphere of 90s Moscow (the background of the film’s action) can be clearly felt.

Crime and punishment – this theme is immortal. Boris Godunov is about conscience and existential choice, connected to the history of a nation. Pushkin himself has stated that in this work, they are tangled in a mysterious knot or pattern. Our choice can also be history’s choice. One wrong individual decision can cause a fatal chain of events. Furthermore, if this person has been granted power, it can affect the whole country.

There is no theatre-goer who would refuse to go backstage. Rehearsals and creative talks in the wings, parties and intrigues, flirts and tears, success and failure… This is what Viktor Shamirov’s comedy is about. Ironically and skilfully the film tells about the life of a touring company of actors – that life which is hard and cruel, mysterious and attractive, ridiculous and tragic. A small group of Moscow actors goes on tour to several large Russian cities. The circumstances, events and motifs of the heroes are largely borrowed from real events which happened in the lives of the authors.
Cast: Viktor Shamirov, Gosha Kutsenko, Konstantin Yushkevich, Pavel Savinkov, Ksenia Radchenko

The passengers of an evening flight have fastened their seat belts and are ready for take-off. But the flight is postponed until the morning. The passengers unfasten their seat belts again and leave the terminal. Drops of slanting rain gleam under a streetlight. In a puddle two female silhouettes are reflected. Two women, casual fellow travellers, embark on a journey into the Moscow night... They change cars and their mood changes; they race along the ring road and the boulevards; they cry and laugh: it seems they can do anything during this strange night, as if they had dropped out of real life. They can do anything: suffer, love, hate. There is only one thing they cannot do: part. One single idea moves them, one passion: its name is MAN.
