Summer



Kirill Serebrennikov : 2018
Лето

Leningrad, one summer in the early eighties, the period just before Perestroika. Smuggled vinyl albums by Led Zeppelin, Lou Reed and David Bowie inspire a growing Russian underground scene brimming with magic and creativity. But the State's resistance to Western influence is unbending. It is in this environment that the rock star Mike and his wife Natasha meet a young Viktor Tsoï who is eager to make a name for himself. The encounter with his idol and his beautiful wife will change Viktor's life forever. Together they will build his legend and make him immortal. And as a love triangle filled with passion develops, together they permanently change the musical landscape of the Soviet Union. Kirill Serebrennikov's feature premiered in competition at Festival de Cannes 2018.
