| Summary: | Duration: 01:47:00
This French-Russian production is a visually stark and potent film about life in post-Soviet Russia. The main character is Andrei, a young, antisemitic Muscovite bodybuilder who is the leader of a gang of skinheads. The gang controls the Luna Park, an amusement park, a place of wild rollercoasters and distorting mirrors, where it regularly beats up "non-Russians," foreigners and Jews. During a drunken confessional, a close relative tells Andrei that his long lost father is a Jewish bohemian living in Moscow, rather than an Afghanistan war hero. Andrei traces him down in order to kill him. But the intriguing father and his "reactionary" lifstyle soon fascinates Andrei, which leads to a clash with his gang.
