Bez lásky – Loveless

Neľubov, directed by Andrej Zvjagincev, RU, 127 min., Russian with Czech Subtitles

Jenia and Boris are undergoing a painful divorce. They keep together only because of the last problem – selling their flat, otherwise, they both have their new lives arranged. Jenia found a rich, older man, while Boris and his work colleague are expecting a child. Their twenty-year-old son Aljoša is more of a burden to them. Neither of them is interested in him as if he was a reminder of their failures. Everything changes the moment Aljoša disappears. A sudden feeling of emptiness moves both of his parents to search not only for their son but also for the roots of their own emotional distance.
