The Pokrovsky Gates
Directed by Mikhail Kozakov
Produced by Mosfilm
A warm, gently comedic ensemble portrait of Moscow communal life where neighbors' romantic entanglements and everyday struggles create both humor and human connection.
Stories from the lives of the tenants of the Moscow's communal apartment: Kostik, who is a college student, lives with his aunt while studying; Arkady Velyurov who is a performing artist; Khobotovs, who are a divorced couple; and Sava, who is Margarita Khobotov's new fiancé. All these people live in one apartment and their lives constantly touch each other's.
