This was a life like in 90s in post Soviet Russia and Ukraine small towns
Also, suggesting to watch BRAT-2 (brother-2),Zhmurki (pick-a-boo) and Brigada.

If you're expecting Hero With A Thousand Faces storytelling this is not it
The film captures the beautiful scenes and vibe of 90s Russia. If you're familiar with the East Block in the 90s you may appreciate a lot of the cinematography and mise en scene because it's spectacular down to the fashion.
It also very accurately captures the naivete and simplicity of being a 13 Yr old.
If you're hoping for the familiar structured story telling style from film school this is not it as some whiny reviewers have already mentioned in their undeserving low review scores.
