A provincial who has not found himself, who is over thirty, goes to work in Moscow, where every time he stays for several nights with a distant relative – a lonely middle-aged woman. Their relationship is practically devoid of it, as if the constant unconscious in the form of strange obsessions somehow connects these people, at first glance far from each other.
Reviews
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
