Editorial Reviews

In the 1950's rock and roll becomes very popular around the world. But in Russia, that kind of music is banned. Only, Alexi, a teenager with great musical talent, receives from his travel ling uncle rock records and his friend decides to make copies to sell on the black market. Alexi falls in love with the daughter of an important minister to the Russian government. The records soon become a national threat and the KGB does not appreciate.

Probably not. Almost no one has. Which is a shame because it is excellent. It gives a very realistic look at what it must have been like to be a teenager in the Soviet Union during the fifties. It has some wonderful music in it and the acting in it is also great. Only fault I have with it is that the ending is a bit of a bummer.
