ABOUT THE FILM
This highly controversial film imagines the aftermath of the fateful 1990 car accident that killed Soviet rock idol Victor Tsoy. A surreal road trip ensues as Pavel, the other driver in the collision, must transport Tsoy’s remains back to Saint Petersburg. The film spans the private pain felt by Tsoy’s loved ones and the tragic impact on an entire generation. Tsoy’s death, months before the fall of the Soviet Union, was an auger of change to come.
