A true test of quality is perfection in the simplest things. Garpastum is the simple story of two brothers, Andrei (Yevgeni Pronin) and Nikolai (Danil Kozlovsky) who live to play football. On the streets of St. Petersburg as World War I begins, they spend their time brawling, loving and dreaming of one day having their own playing field. They challenge students, clergy, dock workers and anyone with money to play, slowly saving enough to buy the field, but their plans fail when a friend is murdered and Nikolai joins the army. The screenplay is energetic and clever, "How's your soup?" "The soup is the color of a puddle. You're a saint and I'm in a muddle." Static images are presented like precious gems. Beautifully photographed using an indirect style that compels the audience to imagine what might otherwise be obvious Garpastum is a virtually perfect tale of war and peace.
