A very wealthy man,and his wife Zoya,her brother and one of his friends,travel to an abandoned astrophysical complex in an attempt to stay forever young.

Zoya already wears for years each morning a mask which keeps her from aging, the special glasses they have showing her in her mid twenties,although she's in her 70's.

Zoya's brother,who's name I didn't bother to remember,as he annoyed me,hated people,but meets the love of his life,who's voice he obsessed over ever since he listened to it,giving Chinese lessons.

Zoya starts an affair with her brother's friend,who kinda looks like her husband to me,and tells him her bizarre fantasies.

Zoya's husband has an affair with a woman they take with them from the country,and lives in their house.

I watched an hour and a half of it,and I still don't know what is about.

The movie is a long and boring movie about nothing. It's just old wealthy people who discovered the secret to youth, just acting like young people,doing nothing all day, cheating,and wasting their life away.

The music at first sounded good,having Asian influences,but around the one hour mark,lost itself and started getting not just boring and annoying,but at times it felt it didn't match what was on the screen,not to mention,at times it wasn't needed.

 

The visual effects are great!

The actors are good. Although, Danila Kozlovsky annoyed me,as his character,as a tv presenter talks very fast - like a rapper,and at times over other people.

The movie has beautiful landscapes,houses and interior design. The costumes are good too.

The movie was released in 2011 at the Berlinale Festival. It received a few international nominations, and won the Russian Nika Award for Best Soundtrack.

Rating : Could have been a contender!, and that's because I'm feeling generous!
