The Long Farewell

A Soviet family unravels when a son returns from summer with his father speaking perfect English and wearing Western clothes. The mother grapples with his transformation while clinging to old routines. Muratova frames quiet domestic rifts with ironic precision, a 1980s snapshot where ideology leaks through everyday gestures.
