A sad and bloody tale of the whole generation lost amid the ruins of Soviet Empire. As someone who happened to be a teenager during the 90's in Ukraine, I find the brutality of daily life and decaying environment to be very believable.
Good actors, a great director that offers no moral judgement, just a simple, easy to follow story about traumatized society.
This movie is not for everybody. If it didn't look like a documentary about my own life, I probably wouldn't have recommend it to anyone. If you meet a Ukrainian in their 40's or 50's and want to understand why they are the way they are, then watch this movie.
