Loveless
A missing child. A marriage destroyed. A country in crisis.
Directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev
Produced by ARTE France Cinéma, Senator Film
A bleak, psychologically penetrating portrait of parental indifference and marital dissolution that culminates in a child's disappearance, forcing a reckoning with the consequences of lovelessness.
Zhenya and Boris are going through a vicious divorce marked by resentment, frustration and recriminations. Already embarking on new lives, each with a new partner, they are impatient to start again, to turn the page – even if it means threatening to abandon their 12-year-old son Alyosha. Until, after witnessing one of their fights, Alyosha disappears.
