We are re-showing this film because the feedback on it last year was terrific. We are also delighted to say that one of the leading actors (Lubov Novikova) will be in Kilkenny this year, so there’s another reason! In the film, a young writer brings a collection of short stories to a big publishing house in Moscow. The manuscript contains four stories and the lives of each of the four readers who encounters them are mysteriously changed. The situations range from realistic to absurd to thrilling to create a rich portrait of life in contemporary Russia and showcase the thoughts, feelings and ambitions of people who live there.
