Very well executed

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

OK, so of course this serial is in Russian and of course it helps if you actually speak some of the language, apart from that this series is a little cracker.You don't need great Russian to laugh like an idiot at the trials and tribulations of Olga's life and if you ever lived in Russia (and I don't mean Moscow or Leningrad) you will understand completely. Alcoholic father, son who thinks he is Georgian, crazy sister looking for love in all the wrong places, boyfriend who is to soft, I could go on and on..Try and watch it if you can understand some of the language..
