What Does Slava Want?

Mom and Dad have just moved into a new house and are preparing for their Baby daughter's first birthday. Balancing between work and family, Dad buys a gift in an unusual store without even looking into the box. And there are small animated toys — Malyshariki. While the parents are preparing for the holiday, the little ones get out of the box and go in search of their own house.

Petersburg. A Selfie comprises seven novellas about the beautiful city of St. Petersburg, Russia, shot by female directors. The film tells a story of a real, living and breathing city, rather than a mythical phantasm. Each novella tells its own story about love and loneliness, luck and hope.

Masha, who works for a radio station, and Maxim, a street sweeper with an architectural degree, cross paths with each other when they are at an indecisive point in their lives.

He's an unemployed guy who earns some money by giving lifts to strangers. She's a graphic designer who just got her first job. The film tracks their relationship - and the way it gradually melts away - throughout a year. A subtle, moving portrait of an immature love that breaks down easily.

After a failed marriage, Masha retreats to the sanctuary of her humble profession as a translator of serious literature. Financial difficulties force her to accept an offer to interpret during a seminar held by an English puppeteer.

Nina is barely 40, she is attractive and successful: a stable marriage, a trusting relationship with her husband, a little son, a favorite job. The idyll of pleasant stability is broken by a call from the past - Nina's ex-lover Ruslan is dangerously ill and asks her to come to Tbilisi to see him, perhaps for the last time. The husband does not mind, he knew about their relationship in the past. Nina is happy to go to the city where she was happy in order to support a once loved one in a friendly way. She believes she loves her husband and family and plans to return home soon, not expecting this light trip to be her last.

The cycle consists of four short stories ("Record", "Havana", "Close Embrace", "Uncle from Chicago") connected by a common idea - to present different portraits of a modern Russian woman. It is planned to add some more interesting stories. All the short stories are shot by different directors, and each of them shows the viewer His Own Woman.

Where does true love begin? At a glance? With mutual sympathy? A random gesture at a trolleybus stop? Or, perhaps, with ordinary stupidity? Polina and Sasha met on an ordinary autumn morning. It was a good morning to meet: she had a bag of lollipops in her hands, and he had a pen and a notebook to write that she was very beautiful. And so it has been since then: he wrote, and she read. Until suddenly it turned out that you can talk without a piece of paper.

The Anton Buiucli was launched in July 1969 in Romania. The people who came to work on this steamer became a unique crew in their own way. Many of them worked as a team for a very long time - both ten and fifteen years. This was a rare case in the Sakhalin Shipping Company-with an endless staff turnover. "Anton Buyukly" has become for many sailors not just a place of work, but a real home. And the crew members of this ship remained loyal friends for life.
