1) DVD DVD Pokrovskie Vorota (Pokrov Gates) by . This is a delightful comedy made for Russian television in the 80s but set in Moscow in the 50s. Kostik is a young college student who comes to Moscow to study history and stays with his aunt, who manages a communal apartment (these were common in the Soviet Union - several families had separate rooms but shared certain facilities). He soon finds his life intertwined with those of the other residents.

Among them are Lev Khobotov, his controlling ex-wife Margarita (who thwarts all his attempts at finding love and happiness) and her new beau, Savva. Arkady Velyurov is a musical comedian who is past his prime. The film is mostly about the search for fulfillment by Khobotov, Velyurov, and Kostik himself.

2) DVD DVD Pokrovskie Vorota (Pokrov Gates) by . Stories from the lives of the tennants of the Moscow´s communal apatment: 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 fiance. All these people live in one apartment and their lives constantly touch each other´s. This is a movie you instantly fall in love with -- romantic, refreshing, full of melody and extremely poetic. Shooting was made on the streets of good "old" Moscow, as stylish for some as Paris of the 50s, Prague of the 60s...¤
