Ivan Lashin

Ivan Lashin, a young man who lives with his mother in the country and works at home, met director Vitaly Suslin.

Russia’s most important festival Kinotavr declared it the best script and the film also received the award of the Russian Film Critics Guild. Now, a few years later, Vitaly and Ivan have made a new film which talks about Ivan’s life after festivals: has he changed, what is he dreaming about?

At night, the fountain retires, leaving only Pushkin's bronze shoulder, a place to cool a head weary from the day...
