ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE PROVINCES

The homecoming of TV star Nastia creates havoc in a normally sober, quiet small town. The celebrity has turned her back on a career so meteoric that her friendships suffered. Unwilling to put up with that kind of life a second longer, Nastia wants to turn the page and start all over again.

The new beginning turns out to be more momentous than Nastia imagined. She finds herself engulfed in a frenzy of adulation from local youngsters who were resigned to living in a provincial backwater. For them, the return of a star opens up wholly new prospects. But the scenario of hope meets a sudden and tragic end. And life reverts to the way it was before.

An unsentimental, melancholy view on life in provincial Russia, far removed from the glitter of Moscow.
