Sketches About Love

1991 part 1. Joseph, Adolf and Eva.
The history of the entire country runs through the history of the inhabitants of a communal apartment in the very center of Moscow. The first film was shot back in the USSR, in 1990. Under the windows of the communal apartment, tanks roar ominously at night, rehearsing the last military parade dedicated to the October Revolution. And humanitarian aid from Germany is being delivered to the residents.

1993 part 2. Big Sale.
The second film is called "The Big Sale". Filmed in 1993, when jackhammers roar under the windows and the only window facing Gorky Street is boarded up by the new McDonald's restaurant under construction. And the whole country lives in anticipation of the arrival of Michael Jackson in Moscow.

1995 part 3. New Times.
This is the last film of the "Studies of Love" trilogy. It's called "New Times". It is no longer dedicated to the residents of a barracks-type communal apartment, but to the inhabitants of a fashionable Stalinist house for the Soviet elite, which was also affected by the trends of the new times. If residents of communal apartments are relocated to cemeteries or new areas, the former Soviet elite succumbs to the rise of the new Russian capital and sells their apartments.
