A Hundred Years in Search of Solitude
Synopsis
Using the example of two elderly people, the film reconstructs the fate of the former USSR. Their generally quite comfortable lives unfolded against the backdrop of the difficult and bloody history of the Soviet Union — a country that disappeared, taking with it its way of life, its morality, and an entire generation.
