Little Vera

Director: Vasili Pichul
Release Date: February 11, 1989

The title of the film, Little Vera, is ambiguous and can also mean "Little Faith." The was the leader of ticket sales in the Soviet Union in 1988. Part of its popularity was probably due to it being one of the first Soviet movies with explicit sex scenes.

Vera, the film's main character, is a teenage girl just out of high school. She feels trapped in her provincial town. The film has a cynical and pessimistic view of Soviet society, which was typical of the period.

This film was remarkably watchable and audience friendly.
