An ordinary day of an ordinary St. Petersburg guide: a smile on duty, the text bounces off the teeth, the route is scheduled by the minute – the main thing is that the bus with tourists is in time for lunch! It seemed that the life of the guide Marina finally turned into a series of identical, as if under a carbon copy, everyday life, gray as the asphalt of Nevsky Prospekt. And so it was, until the bus suddenly got stuck in traffic at the Anichkov Bridge, and Klodt's famous horses rebelled against Marina and her routine. What can you do, St. Petersburg is a city where miracles happen at every step. A guide can become a person, and the spirits of Nevsky Prospekt can breathe life even into an ordinary bus tour. close

The short film “The Final Stop” is a small sketch from the lives of several characters. All of them are typical representatives of modern society, and each to some extent bears a part of the national conflict that sometimes manifests itself in this very society.
It all begins with the fact that two young men, two Caucasians, dance a lezginka in one of the Moscow courtyards. Their dance causes the displeasure of a football fan. Further events, twisting into a spiral, eventually turn into an extremely explosive situation, in which it is not clear until the very end what all this will lead to. close

As with so many early films by Sokurov, this film has two dates: the first is the date of its creation (the film was then banned), the second is the date of the final edition and legal public screening. The film consists of German and Soviet archive footage of the World War II — to be exact, from the end of the war. An attempt to make a large–scale documentary on this subject had been undertaken in the Soviet cinema of the 1960s: the film — “Ordinary Fascism” — by the outstanding Soviet film–maker Mikhail Romm had become a classic retrospective investigation of fascism. But Sokurov uses the expressive power of the documentary image in an absolutely different way. He does not amass materials for a large–scale picture of Nazi crimes. close
