Glückspilze (2013)
Extremely moving documentary
I have seen the movie at the film festival in Nyon and was really in tears. The stories about the four children growing up under very tough conditions is so strong. They never give up and see their future mostly in gold. As an example, the older girl in the movie, she is raped by the police officer, but never the less think, that he will give her a apartment and a home for the child she is expecting.
Speaking or housing, the film gives also a deep look into the conditions, people lives in St. Petersburg. The so called Komunalka is not a flat-share, it is more. Imagine a 4 room apartment and in every room lives a hole family with up to 4 kids. That makes up to 16 people using the kitchen and the toilet!
These days it is also a very good contrast to the TV, that shows you a polished Russia in Sotschi! Go to the theaters ans see how life in Russia for most of the people really is!
