two stories who becomes one. characters as sketches. symbols, impression of project, absence of roots for events, different pieces and the duty of viewer to create a puzzle. basic virtue - atmosphere to gives to it the status of interesting movie.the desire to create archetypes for usual case . Franziska Petri and Dejan Lilic are perfect choices for lead roles but the space for give force, content to characters is very small. a film about impossibility of choices. and the fragility of new beginnings. the need of the other. and the frame of a special form of faith. good intentions. and the lines of a delicate , precise definition of a small world. a form of parable.

a film like exploration of ideas. about love, the other, reflection of yourself in the near person. need of revenge and stability and happiness. beautiful. interesting. but a kind of iceberg. because all is reduced at suggestion. and the tradition of Russian meditation about the great themes of life is a not small resource in this sense. the film has all for be an admirable work - cinematography, actors, dialogues. but the story in real and profound sense is missing. and, out of doubt, for a part of public this could be a good thing. because it is a Russian film. so... different. but only for a part of public.

Long, confusing, sometimes sexy but unsatisfying Ruskie infidelity drama.

In an attention getting opening, Lilic shows up for a heart check with fetching Dr. Petri, who announces that their spouses are having an affair, before a SUV mows down a bus stop behind still confused Lilic, launching a complicated sequence of events, where reality and metaphor mix without sufficient indicators.

Blue tinged colour & 'Scope images are occasionally striking but the piece is confusing and uninvolving. At nearly two hours, it outlasts its value as drama or guessing game.
