Summary

" ... international opera diva Liuba Pavlovna (Kseniia Rappoport), arrives [in the small town of Yuriev-Polskii (St. George the Polish)] with her 20-year-old son Andrei ((Roman Shmakov) before their departure to Europe for a long stay, if not permanent residence. The purpose of this pilgrimage is purely symbolic: to visit the place where the family came from, to absorb the motherland before leaving it. ... Andrei disappears in the cold air, as if obeying his mother's suggestion, "Dissolve in the air of the motherland!" He does just that, and the day in Yuriev turns Liuba's life upside down. After Andrei's disapparance she abandons her opera career, forgets about Europe, and stays in Yuriev to find her son, while at the same time immersing herself deeper and deeper into the everyday horror of Russian life. ... Yuriev Day stands for Yuri's Day, or St. George's Day (26 November) the day in which medieval Russian serfs were permitted to change their masters -- the day of freedom, albeit limited. This meaning of the title suggests the "spiritual" interpretation of the film as a story of the liberation of Liuba's spirit from pride and individualism, a story of finding peace through tragedy and through her newly acquired sense of belonging to the collective "people's" body."--From a review by Mark Lipovetsky, in Kinokultura (www.kinokultura.com)
