MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedA landmark of late-Soviet cinema, Vasili Pichul's 1988 drama centers on Vera, a restless teenager newly out of school and stifled by life in a grey provincial port town. Set against the upheaval of perestroika, the story traces her days and nights of drinking, fraught romance, and simmering family conflict. Part drama and part romance, it captures generational frustration, social change, and the cramped intimacy of household tension with unvarnished candor. Best suited to viewers interested in character-driven world cinema and a frank portrait of youth in transition, it carries a MagicMovieScore of 6.0.
