Fathers and Sons

Отцы и дети

Synopsis

About the socio-political conflict between two worldviews, about the relationship between younger and older generations, about the eternal struggle between the old and the new, about true and false values, about creation and destruction, about human strength and weakness, about friendship, love, and loneliness... What could be more acute and tragic than a conflict between people who are closest to each other and sincerely love each other? But, alas, such a conflict is inevitable whenever the interests of two generations collide.
