Looking for a Happy Ending (1991)

In the late 1980s, an era of great hopes and great disasters for Russia, art proved to be a social barometer, predicting the imminent political upheavals. This film's screenplay was written overnight in February 1991, soon after the World Economic Forum, where Olga Sviblova was asked the question, "What will happen to Russia?", and answered: "A putsch."
