Gruz 200
Cargo 200
USSR, 1984. The end of the Soviet era. Provincial Russia. After going
to a club the daughter of the secretary of the district committee for the Communist Party disappears. There are no witnesses.
No suspects have been found. This same evening, in a house on the outskirts of town, a brutal murder is committed. The culprit
is the owner of the house. Both investigations are turned over to the Police Captain Zhurov. „Cargo 200 is neither a condemnation
nor a tribute. It‘s just a film about 1984 as I remember it and see it. I wanted to make a hard-hitting film about the Soviet
Union - and I did it.“ (Alexey Balabanov)
