Vory i Prostitutki. Priz - Polyot v Kosmos

The film centers on Zhenya Mikhailov, the son of an Italian revolutionary and a Hollywood star. After facing failure in his groundbreaking genetic research, Zhenya ends up working as a bartender. His life takes a turn when a famous writer introduces him to Mikhail Gorbachev, leading to an unusual opportunity for Zhenya to fly into space.

In this comedic take on revolution and ambition, Zhenya adopts the name Juvenal and declares he will not return to Earth. The film intertwines elements of political commentary with a satirical approach to the aspirations of its characters. The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Vladimir Steklov and Natalya Seleznyova, adding depth to the quirky narrative.

As a collector, the film may appeal due to its unique storyline and the cultural context of early 2000s Russian cinema. This blend of comedy and political satire makes it a notable entry for those interested in international films from this era.
