Alexandra

Director: Alexander Sokurov

According to the subject an old woman named Alexandra comes to the military unit to see her grandson – the officer of Russian Army, who serves in Chechnya.
A long talk with her grandson - a young officer – like a complicated way to each other, a chance meeting with an unknown native woman and a walk around the “wounded” city… - all these events of the latest two days move her heart deeply.

The film tells about the delicate gist of human relations. “Alexandra” has something in common with the previous “elegies” of the master (“Father and Son”, “Mother and Son”), but this story is the author’s old-standing intention to shoot a film where an actress performs, and from where her role will become an important event of her creative life.
