I just watched this movie online for free. I love old cars and have never been to Europe, let alone Russia so I jumped at the chance to see the old Volgas when new (nearly every car in sight) and the scenes of everyday life in a Russian city back then. No Volgas in Australia that I know of.

Movie contrasts the corruption in daily life at the time, with a local volunteer acting/playhouse project where the playhouse boss says the best actors are the ones that have another job (not professional actors).

The main character is employed in insurance sales (an industry that is virtually the worlds biggest corruption industry), he is funny because he is quite inept and comical, but keeps committing the car stealing crimes in an attempt to level the playing field of life in the community. His family are very confused by his actions.

I enjoyed the movie very much.
