Overview

The film is about a group of people who in other times wouldn't have anything in common, some of them innocent bystanders, some moral criminals. But nothing is straightforward and simple. From Russia "the run" continues to Constantinople, to Paris, back to Russia. Some of them have understood that they can't live outside Russia and go back maybe to be happy, maybe not, some go back to face sure death for their crimes, some don't go back and know that are going to miss homeland forever, some are comfortably well off (are they?) in exile. Sentimental without syrup, tragic and comical at the same time.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sprawling, unsentimental portrait of Russian exiles caught between homelands and identities, where every character carries the weight of impossible choices. The film moves between cities and decades with the texture of lived experience, tragicomic, morally complex, and deeply human.
