Note : In this gentrification drama, a burnt-out private eye is hired by a fretful mother to find her young son who disappeared in the former imperial capital. The plot empowers the director to show vulnerable people displaced from their homes by slash-and burn-construction to serve Russia’s new rich. It’s a perfect theme for New York, and a wry juxtaposition of new rich and new poor in a country that once proclaimed the end of the class struggle.
Plot synopsis
