About

One of the most scandalous films of the late 1980s returns to the screen to touch the soul once again. A bold story of coming of age, generational clashes, and cultural differences tells about the search for oneself and the attempt to understand the other in the harsh Soviet reality. When a film with a real bed scene appears in Soviet distribution, it becomes not just a sensation but a cultural revolution. The 1988 film is not just a coming-of-age drama. It is a mirror of the era, capturing the nerve, pain, despair, and timid hope of the late eighties. Before the audience is the story of a simple family, where the parents try to cope with everyday life and their own fears, while the daughter seeks love and freedom in disco halls, back alleys, and conversations with friends. And then he appears - a man from another world, with different values, a different background, a different vocabulary. Their meeting becomes not a romantic fairy tale, but a painful attempt to build a bridge between incompatible worlds. The film screening is held as part of the "Perestroika-40" project - a large-scale retrospective dedicated to the cinema of the glasnost era. This is a film that previously had no place on screens: too sharp, too personal, too uncomfortable for ideology. And this is precisely what made it a breakthrough. The project reminds us how perestroika changed not only politics but also the language of cinema. It brings back into focus films that became symbols of the era - "Assa", "Courier", "Cold Summer of 1953...", "Kin-dza-dza!". Among them is this film, which still provokes sharp debates and strong emotions. For those who remember those years and for those who want to understand where we came from, this screening becomes not just a movie night but a point of contact with the past. Without embellishments, loud slogans, and nostalgia - but with the truth that cannot be silenced by time. Ideas on where to go in Yekaterinburg are collected on our website.
