Podstrochnik(2009)

Overview

Lilianna Lungina's cinematic monologue about the life of the soul and the world around us. With relentless vigilance, she examines her own development from childhood to her final days, making internal events no less fascinating than external ones. Her story is a unique combination of confession and scale, of the big picture and the general plan: it is both a portrait and a fresco, because the heroine never loses sight of life in general, of society, trying to present to the audience the fate of Russia and, in part, of Europe in the 20th century.
