Shameless slimeball Eduard "Edik" Letov - clad in an everpresent Hawaiian shirt - puts the sting on alien travelers hoping to connect with their roots, by having local phonies pose as the visitors' long-lost relatives. Complications abound when Letov attempts to pass off an entire village under the guise of a community wiped out during the Second World War. The arrival of a group of trouble-causing misfits, among them mobster Barukh - who wishes to bury his mother's remains, only to discover that someone keeps exhuming them - and the lech Simon - a Canadian with an insatiable fetish for his sexy translator - turn Letov's latest scheme into a veritable cat's cradle.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Oleg Sinitsin English title: "Roots".4 out of 11 KINOTAVR-2005 awards.Young con artist with rather nice personality gets in trouble gathering long lost foreign relatives together. Absolutely hilarious comedy, close in style to "12 chairs". I would like to invite visitors to see pictures from the movie and watch a detailed trailer at RussArt.com.
