TEMPORARY LIFE
(VREMENNAYA ZHIZN)

Written by Andrey Plakhov
Directed by Alina Rudnitskaya


It is the story of those people who struggle and suffer, fall ill and die, fall in love and live in that temporary "time" life that had been given to those who lived in Russia in the beginning of the 21th century.

This is a plain story, but it never becomes primitive. A simple, but touching story about simple people in the ordinary circumstances. It is a film that it is possible to be happy if your internal sun shines.
