Day of the Full Moon, a series of vignettes from Russia past and present, summons the spirit of Ophuls’ La Ronde, Altman’s Nashville and Short Cuts, and the time-shifting strategies of Resnais (Mon Oncle d’Amérique) to tell provocative, connected stories illustrating the waltz of years and whim of memory. In 1948, a young man, a boy, and a waiter are captivated during the full moon by a mysterious woman in a lilac dress. The effects of this event ripple across the years, washing over more than 80 characters, including a disc jockey, a fairy princess, a gangster, Alexander Pushkin, and a nostalgic dog. But which of these are dreams, and which reality? Director Shakhnazarov continues his career-long focus on the intersection of past and present with this mysterious, exhilarating mosaic of humankind, which in the end both seduces and satisfies.

Actor Barkhanov is hired as a bodyguard for a very rich person in this criminal comedy from mid-nineties.

Na década de 90 do século 19, a condessa Prizorova sonha que é Masha Stepanova, faxineira de um bar em Moscou, no ano de 1993. Em suas incursões ao futuro a aristocrata vê o marido vender fotos dela nua na rua, a fim de ganhar o dinheiro necessário para comprar comida pelos preços altamente inflacionados – com Yeltsin chegaram a 2000%. Mais tarde, os funcionários do governo a intimam a servir de atração sexual para convencer um representante do FMI a liberar os créditos prometidos, mas não concedidos à Rússia. Ácida reflexão de Shakhnazarov sobre o vazio moral e a imitação das piores práticas ocidentais produzidas na Rússia pela restauração capitalista.
