It's 1999. Sasha and his parents spend their summer holiday in a sanatorium, where he gets the titular role in an amateur musical production of Orpheus and Eurydice. He is paired with Polina, an employee of the sanatorium and a local beauty. Sasha falls in love with a girl and, without realizing it, drags himself and his family into an unequal battle with the manager of the sanatorium Misha, who does not hesitate to use any leverage so that Polina stays with him.
Reviews
Good concept, poorly executed.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
