Maybe my title is a bit too much but it's the best way i found to depict this late soviet drama movie: as the funny American show, it's about a low income dysfunctional family with a sweet mother, a hard- working but grumpy father, a studious brother and a free daughter! Their life is set in an apocalyptic sea town with decaying ships, small and bare apartments! If this was the paradise of workers, I wonder what their hell was like? The future awaiting this teen is indeed bleak and falling in love is difficult. What's is sure is that they are left to communicate as they can't escape with things (except music, alcohol and food). In a way, they can't be spoiled and must care: Vera has only 4 dress! The cast is really good and this little Vera is moving as every lost souls I can meet in my films travels! For her and for the communist dream that comes apart from everywhere, this prophetic movie is a must see!
