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).
