Description:
In this character-driven drama set in modern Russia, we meet Ivan, a taxi driver who carries with him the nostalgia of Communism's era. When he crosses paths with the younger, unpredictable musician Alexi, an uneasy bond is formed. Despite Alexi's habitual drunken behavior and irresponsible nature, which culminates in him leaving Ivan with a hefty repair bill from a flooded apartment, they remain linked by a strange combination of resentment and affection.As their tumultuous relationship unfolds against the backdrop of post-Soviet Russia, we see Ivan tirelessly trying to mould the wayward Alexi into a responsible adult through menial labor tasks. However, their roles seem to reverse when Alexi unexpectedly catches his big break in America's jazz scene, leaving behind his past and returning as a celebrated musician.Despite the vast difference in their lives, Ivan still yearns for the camaraderie they once shared, hoping against all odds that Alexi would reciprocate his efforts for friendship. The film beautifully captures the essence of human connection and how it can manifest itself even in the most unlikely circumstances and relationships.
