ERA
A Veniamin Ilyasov Film
The fiery redhead Era and her unusual son Andrey come to a house by the sea. Here, by the rocky shore, far from the hustle and bustle, within walls that hold many colorful stories and destinies, they hope to find happiness and start a new life...
A visually stunning spectacle, shot by the brilliant camera of Batyr Morgachev. A film of the seven elements, in which earth, water, air, fire, life, reason and love merge in fragile and captivating harmony.
The debut of Veniamin Ilyasov, which became a hit of the most important Russian festivals, is a dazzling kaleidoscope of meetings and separations, dramas and farces, despair and romance.
A benefit performance by the outstanding actress Marianne Schulz – and a series of no less remarkable roles: from the Bolshoi Drama Theatre premier Gennady Blinov, who is starting his film career, to the experienced Fyodor Lavrov never seen like this before (the cinephile eye will also notice the cameo of Jean Daniel, Kira Muratova’s talismanic actor).

Okkolokino: Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Surprisingly, the exhibition of strange personalities in "Era" looks organic. As if all the loners and oddballs had gathered together somewhere at the edge of the world...

"Everything should be a fairy tale" - Veniamin Ilyasov about the film "Era"
Cinema itself does not tolerate naturalism, it is artificial, illusory, it must even be primitive and naive...

2x2.media: "Era" by Veniamin Ilyasov: Longing for Happiness with Marianna Schults
The director managed to assemble a sensitive cast: Marianne Schulz gracefully walks along the fractures of the present, each time shaking herself off after a failure and entering a new game with her head held high. Gennady Blinov is silently heartfelt throughout the film, suffering from the inability to escape from the house that has become a refuge for strangers. And Fyodor Lavrov first gives hope, and then abruptly takes it away, like life itself.
