Avalanche (2001)

melodramaticluxuriously sad90s prestige drama

Overview

DramaRomance

"Лавина" - рассказ о человеке у которого есть всё, о чём он всегда мечтал: талант, слава, семья. Но есть и скука, которая съедает его. Ему больше нечего желать - всё достигнуто. Наверное, его жизнь продолжалась бы в том же духе, если бы он не встретил молодую и красивую женщину. И он понимает, что единственное чего у него не было - любви. Все самые сильные чувства он отдавал музыке. Только её он любил. А что касается людей... Им он позволял любить себя. Ведь только он - солнце, все остальные - лишь планеты. И вот он узнаёт, что такое настоящая страсть, страсть, которая испепеляет его изнутри, сметает на своём пути всё, как лавина. Ради этой страсти он откажется от всего: от денег, семьи, славы. Но будет ли счастлив?

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Ivan Solovov primarily worked in television; this rare theatrical feature was inspired by real Moscow arts world scandals of the 1990s.

Cultural

The 'new Russian' protagonist reflects post-Soviet anxieties—material success replacing ideological purpose, with classical music as the last spiritual refuge.
