The plot is not developed; in the film we see a man (he) and a woman (she) who, in fact, are neither connected nor familiar with each other; they casually met in hospital. "She" (Viktoria Tolstoganova) does not see that she is in danger in connection with her plan to use a tape with illegally made recordings as compromising evidence in court. "He" (Il'ia Shakunov, an actor of the Petersburg TYuZ) is a gay translator who, after the random meeting with her, is pursued by her image which frequently pops up in front of him. As a consequence, his relationship with a young boy no longer satisfies him. Both he and she lose sight of the meaning of life, because of their own inability to see others and to see love, as perception relies on proximity instead of distance.

The film industry is a world with too many variables. A film's success depends not only on actors and directors but on everything that happens behind the camera: endless fights between the screenwriters, mischief, love affairs, and money issues. Finally, the whole team gets together for a wrap party. They will not only drink champagne but tell each other everything they've been hiding. Love affairs come to an end and arguments die down while the director is trying to understand whether he managed to create something "real".

Five different stories about women - their loved ones, passion, family and what they really want in life.

В ноябре 1941 года НКВД под охраной лейтенанта Тихонова отправляет ценный груз из осажденного вермахтом Ленинграда в Москву. На перехват выходит спецгруппа под командованием майора Целлера, сотрудника института "Аненербе". В Берлине груз ожидают в штаб-квартире Гиммлера. Но экспедиция Целлера не выходит из лесов в назначенный планом акции район. На рабочий стол шефа СС ложится рапорт ефрейтора Ральфа Мюллера – молодой солдат видел, как группа майора Целлера захватила немецкий грузовик и перебила свидетелей акции… Много лет спустя Москву посещает внучатый племянник ефрейтора Мюллера. Молодой Ральф уверен: пропавший груз находится на территории Донского монастыря в Москве. Ральф и его московский товарищ Антон Ушаков вовлекаются в опаснейшую авантюру охоты за сокровищами.

Like Fritz Lang, David Fincher or Bong Joon Ho before him, talented debut filmmaker Lado Kvataniya uses the concept of police detective vs serial killer for an excitingly stylised, macabre and haunting narrative, that ultimately revolves around the identity of an era: in this case, the late 1980s Soviet Union. With Glasnost and the end of communist rule, the West also learned of the (unsurprising) fact that there were serial killers in Russia too – the most notorious case probably that of Andrei Chikatilo, nicknamed the Rostov Ripper, or the Russian Hannibal Lecter.
Based on these and many other sources, Kvataniya and screenwriter Olga Gorodetskaya constructed an immersive psychological puzzle, jumping back and forth in time, to reveal ever new-possible motives for the actions of all the protagonists. It all starts in 1990, when Detective Issa Davydov is celebrating his promotion and receives a call, reporting a crime that looks precisely like the ones of the serial killer that he famously captured some years before ...

取材于俄国著名作曲家拉赫曼尼诺夫生平、卢森堡国于2007年拍摄的彩色电影《紫丁香》的片名取得真好。单看片名,人们也许难能把它与拉赫曼尼诺夫联系起来,但正是紫丁香花贯串了整部电影,并以此含义深远地表达了远离祖国的拉赫曼尼诺夫的思念故土之情。
