Autumn's Kiss

Andrey Golubev

Belarus, 2016, 66 Min

A tale of family breakdown: Clara and her rebellious daughter Xenia are on the way home from their vacation when car trouble forces them to pull over amidst a seemingly endless forest landscape. Finding refuge on a remote farm, where they are warmly received by host Ivan Filipovic, they have little notion of what awaits them.

Ivan leads a contented existence together with his wife, son Dima, a mechanic tasked with repairing the car, as well as adopted son Venya in the midst of a seemingly peaceful idyll. The behavior of both Clara and Xenia soon disturbs the family equilibrium however, as long suppressed truths come to light.

Director Andrey Golubev, familiar to Cottbus audiences with two of his short films, VREMJA GONA/MATING SEASON (2003) and KASANOVA/CASANOVA (2005), having previously featured in the festival programme, has created here a conventionally staged drama that unites wonderfully captured autumn landscapes with the demise of its protagonists. With Vladimir Gostyukhin as Ivan, the film features one of Belarusian cinema's leading lights. MM
