Хармс
Ivan Bolotnikov
Wojciech Urbanski, Aistė Diržiūtė
He considers himself a genius but the publishers refuse to print his works. He loves women but they don’t always understand him. Constantly without money and out of touch with reality. The elegant fop Daniil Yuvachov names himself Kharms- a name just as effective as his appearance. An habitué of unending literary get-togethers and a lover of scandal. Living in society he is completely separate from it. Kharms throws down a gauntlet to his time, audaciously hurling himself into the vortex of reality, just as vague and arbitrary, with the same contradictions, as represented by his spirit.

Райские кущи
Aleksandr Proshkin
Chulpan Khamatova, Yevgeni Tsyganov
Мощный жизненный взлет. Карьерный прорыв. Возродившаяся страсть в отношениях с чудесной, умной, красивой женой. Переезд в элитный квартал, в «кущи» местного провинциального рая. Виктор осыпан подарками судьбы, осчастливлен до невероятной степени. Почему же эти подарки ему так непросто принять?
Paradise
Пока ночь не разлучит
Boris Khlebnikov
Aleksandr Yatsenko, Yevgeni Syty
A genuine satiric comedy, based on real conversations - both amusing and sad - overheard by a journalist in one of the most expensive Moscow restaurants. Hilarious and revealing, this is a film about women who choose between affection and money, film producers that don't really know what they're filming, and weary businessmen who sometimes say screw it, down a shot and leave their mother-in-laws to pay the bill. But most of all, it's about true love that favors noisy kitchen floor over gilded fine-dining halls.
