Three students in Moscow share their lives while the country they have grown up in begins to collapse.
This looks more like the cover of a direct-to-DVD movie than a serious art house flick. The colors aren't distracting, but the choice of images and positioning is too unbalanced.
The description of the film that I read seems to be absent entirely from the preview, which had absolutely no subtitles, making it nearly impossible to know what was going on.
I could see Russia submitting the film, but I could also see the Academy ignoring it entirely.
I have not seen this film.
