the Russian title uses the biblical myth of women creation but some think the missing bone was located according to my title, all the more than all males have indeed a big scare there! To come back to this movie, it's indeed a movie about women because we have 3,5 generations of them living by themselves in a too small apartment because they fail to find a decent companion. Now, to put a dynamic into this promiscuity, this movie is a sort of a soviet Juno as the youngest member becomes pregnant. For sure, we have the expected big family gathering around a meal and others moments of soviet life (everybody works, black markets for food and drugs). It's true that the story isn't really fun but at the end, their solidarity and kindness overcome all problems and it's not at all a dark drama! It's a really optimistic look at the human condition and as the cast is really engaging, this is finally a really good soviet movie! (the only moments I zapped were the ones with the grandmother in bed because my family faced this situation too and now it's over we, don't really want to recall this period. in a way, this movie could be very close to your personal life also, more than you can imagine!)
