Contents/Summary

Summary
During the Khrushchev “thaw” in Russia, an ambitious limousine driver, Viktor, serves an army general and his pregnant and unmarried daughter, Vera. The background scenery (Moscow and Sevastopol of the early 1960's) is spectacular and the music is extremely powerful. In the geopolitical background there is the power struggle between the figures of the police, the army, and the special services, a struggle that ensued in the power void after Stalin's death. Career, ambition, love, sex, power, violence, birth and death are a devilish mix in the film's shockingly realistic story line.
