DEAR COMRADES!

Synopsis

A provincial town in the south of the USSR, 1962. Lyudmila, a devout Communist Party official and idealistic veteran of WW II, is a scourge of anything she perceives as anti-Soviet sentiment. Together with other local party officials, she is taken by surprise by a strike at the local factory, in which her own daughter is taking part. As the situation quickly spirals out of control, Lyudmila begins a desperate search for her daughter in the face of curfews, mass arrests, and the authorities’ ruthless attempts to cover up the state violence. Her once unquestioning faith in the party line is shaken by her growing awareness of its human toll, tearing apart the world she thought she knew.

Statement Regisseur

The process of making films about the 1960s is increasingly becoming the process of restoring the historical authenticity of the era, a fairly difficult task all in itself. Recently, we’ve all been seeing plenty of films where the 60s, 70s and 80s of the 20th century look fake and contrived, without any resemblance to the Soviet films made at the time, like THE CRANES ARE FLYING or BALLAD OF A SOLDIER. So, my goal was to scrupulously and in great detail reproduce the era of the USSR’s 1960s. I think that the Soviet people of post-war time, the ones who fought in WWII until victory, deserve to have a movie that pays tribute to their purity and the tragic dissonance that followed the realisation of how different the communist ideals were from the reality around them.
