This gorgeous movie—artfully composed in a muted sandy palette with exquisite attention to visual detail—takes place on the shores of the Black Sea in Crimea, where a group of neighbors seek tranquility and fulfillment fishing and striving to live lives of meaning, outside the bustle and cynicism of city life. This is a film about universal themes of human interaction and love and explores the full range of human desires and relationships. Such Beautiful People is a gentle story of gentle people striving to make their lives better, to find true happiness, and to better understand one another. (via cinema.indiana.edu)
They are surrounded by cold sun, wind, sea, fish ... The two friends, Marta and Lyuba escaped the bustle of the big city and settled on the beach far away from people. Lyuba lives with her happy family: kind and eccentric husband and eight-year old son. Marta has nothing but bad experience in marriage, success in fishing, piano and loneliness. Together they organize home performances, read poetry and listen to music. But Marta lacks genuine warmth. That's when the man appears in her life. Ivan is an unsuccessful writer, who finally has to decide whether he deserves strong feelings and whether he can ever fall in love again. The film "Such beautiful people" can be compared to a Japanese hoku that conveys the essence of human existence and brightness of feelings with simple means.
