 Presented by: Irina Makoveeva, Mellon Assistant Professor of Russian, Germanic & Slavic Languages Department Russia (2004) Dir: Valerii Todorovskii. Fresh from the war in Chechnya, 20-year-old Pavel arrives in Moscow to be fitted for an artificial eye and to find his father, Iulik, a physicist-turned-popular-science-author with a happy, middle-class family life who is unaware that an adulterous fling two decades earlier produced a son. The reactions of Iulik's family and friends to Pavel's arrival represent a microcosm of societal attitudes toward traumatized veterans, a contradictory mix of gratitude, aversion, admiration, and fear. Iulik initially denies that he is Pavel's father, but comes to defend him, as much from patriotism as paternalism. In Russian with English subtitles. Not rated. 120 minutes.

Funding provided in part by Germanic & Slavic Languages Department. Presenters will provide an introduction and facilitate post-screening discussion for each film. Admission is FREE and open to the public. Sarratt Cinema is located on the first floor of the Sarratt Student Center at Vanderbilt University.
