Lyudmila is a successful realtor in the capital. Pictures from the past pop up in her memory, and the viewer learns at what cost a single mother from the province managed to cherish Moscow's well-being. Lyudmila's story is typical, it reflects, like in a mirror, the pain points of modern life, forcing us to make our hourly choices. Is it worth a deal with the conscience of material comfort? Is it possible to achieve success in a megalopolis today and remain an honest person? Won't a "bright future" built on betrayal of one's own ideals lead to the decline of genuine human values?

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
