a gem about post- war life

The character of Boris reminds me Constantin Treplyov from the play "The Seagull" by Cehov. And the work of Anton Kouzemin is just fine. But the splendid job of the young Claire Thoumelou is the axis of this portrait of a Russian family in France, the son coming from Chechenia, news about the carnage from Beslan , the traits of psychosis and lost in thoughts and powerful isolation of Boris and the symbol of lobster. A gem with profound significations.
