1993 - the story of one family suddenly turns out to be the history of the whole country. The relationship of painfully and inextricably linked husband and wife, emergency workers, and the growing up of their daughter against the backdrop of global change.
The story follows Vitaly, a former electronics scientist turned sewer worker, and his family as they try to find their place and understand their own future in a rapidly changing post-perestroika Moscow, with the changes culminating in October 1993.—lasgalletas
