The USSR rock star Konstantin Kinchev stars as a rocker who is deeply involved with the local punk society and has the MTV T-shirt to prove it. Eager for contact with the wider world, Kostya (Kinchev) and his friends study slides of everything from the assasination attempt on the Pope to a beach scene in Japan. The rebel's younger brother Senka is left adrift due to his mother's death which has turned his father into an alcoholic philanderer. Confused and full of idolatry he tries to become closer to his brother, with disastrous results. The rock music which fills the movie and the style of dress are surprisingly Western in influence. Director: Valeri Ogorodnikov. Black and White. Country: Soviet Union. Subtitled. (I.A.S. now located in Old McMillan 254.)
