THE LEASE (2001)
A woman in her forties, having undergone the catastrophe of her private life, tries to find her own place in life, resisting the hard pressure of unfavorable circumstances. We are watching the period of her life that can be called The Living on the Bound. It is a kind of a mirror reflecting the post-soviet society life. Outward freedom does not necessarily bring inner freedom.
