About Love
All happy families are happy alike, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way
Directed by Vladimir Bortko
Produced by Studio 2-B-2 Entertainment, Lenfilm
A melancholic exploration of infidelity and the collision between marital stability and passionate desire, where love becomes both redemptive and destructive.
Beautiful Nina lives happily married, as she saw it, with intelligent Alexandr, professor of Sinology. But the debt for the mortgage begins to disturb the relationship of spouses. One day she meets Sergey, the head of the bank where her husband has debt, and so begins their passionate relationships. The story of the relationship with married Sergey hardly promises happiness, but Nina realizes that for the first time she feels true love.
