The film tells the story of Natalia, 35, who at the age of 16 was married off under compulsion, directly from the orphanage. In an isolated house in the countryside Natalia lives a hard and solitary life together with her spouse, a brutal and narrow-minded man. After the death of her unloved husband Natalia gains a second life, the real one. She opens her eyes to a new world, free from habit and prejudice, imposed by the will and force of others. Natalia changes rapidly as the world around her begins to play an important role in her story. The open spaces, the river and the forest participate in the creation of a new Natalia; the same does her encounter with the trucker Sergei. From now on she is in the mood for love… This ingenuous story told in a contemporary cinematographic language conceals a kind of parable: whatever happens to you, there still remains a possibility for happiness and freedom.

It is 1585 and, having reigned over England for nearly three decades, Queen Elizabeth I (Blanchett) continues to face bloodlust for her throne and the lingering threat of familial betrayal. A channel away, a destructive wind of fundamentalist Catholicism blows across 16th century Europe, with Spain's Philip II (JORDI MOLLA of Sultanes del Sur), its figurehead. Backed by the Church in Rome and armed with the Inquisition, Philip-with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada-presents an imminent threat to Queen and Country…the dark and pious king is determined to wrest the Protestant "heretic" from the throne and restore England to the glory that is the Roman Catholic Church.
Preparing to go to war to defend her empire, Elizabeth also struggles to balance ancient royal duties with an unexpected vulnerability in her love for Raleigh-despite his status as a commoner-who remains forbidden for a Queen sworn body and soul to her country. Unable and unwilling to pursue her passion, Elizabeth encourages her favored lady-in-waiting, Bess (ABBIE CORNISH of the upcoming Stop Loss), to befriend Raleigh and keep him near.
Reprising the roles they originated in seven-time Academy Award®-nominated "Elizabeth," Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush return for a gripping historical thriller laced with treachery and romance--"The Golden Age." Joining them in the epic is Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh, a dashing seafarer and newfound temptation for Elizabeth.

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.
Cast: Владимир Епифанцев, Михаил Ефремов, Андрей Фомин, Сергей Шнуров, Владимир Меньшов, Иван Охлобыстин, Рената Литвинова и др.
