DAU. The Empire. Novel One: Return Of The Prodigal Son

Directed by Anatoly Vasiliev and Ilya Khrzhanovsky

With Anatoly Vasiliev, Teodor Currentzis, Inna Schorr, Mikhail Fikhtengolts and Vyacheslav Kolyus

«The Return of the Prodigal Son» is the first volume from the film (novel) of Anatoli Vassiliev’s «Empire» inside the Dau cycle. The story is about inner kinship, which is much closer than blood, about inevitable betrayal, about almost fatherly love and forgiveness. Cigarettes (papirossa), images from «Faust» and «Don Juan», walks in the Soviet Park of culture... And a terrible, narrow gap inside the brutal regime where you have to be skilled enough to survive... Yes! and they also play gorodki (skittles) with childish passion!
