Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who wants a laugh and anyone who loves a strong drama. Low effort, high reward: just press play. A good follow-up to Code 3.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 26 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A man in his 30s visits a Soviet school to try to hook up with a young teacher there, and meets one of her students, whom he enlists to help introduce him to his romantic interest. While he waits for the student to free up, he observes the absurd Soviet culture, most evident within the school system, especially among the younger children.
