"Close to Eden" is a drama by Nikita Mikhalkov. The last of the most successful Soviet films in the world, the main award of the Golden Lion Venice Film Festival. The action of an amazing parable in which the fate of the Mongolian shepherd and the Russian driver fancifully intertwines takes place in the endless steppes south of Ulan Bator. One of the best roles of Vladimir Gostyukhin. The music of Eduard Artemiyev, like the film itself, captivates the viewer.
