"And do you, Clara..."
The camera panned across a reception hall. It was decorated in the early nineties excess I knew well—pastel streamers, those heart-shaped chairs, and a buffet table groaning with shrimp cocktail. The camera zoomed in on the guests. They were laughing, toasting, looking bored. It was uncanny how real they looked.
The film centers on Misha (Marat Basharov), a young, aimless former army pilot now working a dead-end job in a provincial Russian mining town. He is desperately in love with Tanya (Mariya Mironova), a beautiful but cynical bride-to-be who works at a local factory and has resigned herself to marrying a wealthier, older man.
