CRUSH / KOROTKOE ZAMYKANIE Russia / 2009 / Drama, Romance / 95 min. / colour / feature film ANNOTATION “CRUSH” is an almanac about different manifestations of love. The five short stories represent a statement of new Russian filmmakers on the subject of love. The main characters – a shoemaker, a reporter, a promo-man, a mental hospital patient and a young ex-convict – are all “people of no importance”. They are the heroes of our time – of a time that knows no heroes. They all share one important feature: they are open-hearted and not afraid of love.
