Его папа хочет стать президентом США. Дед и бабка — Брэд Питт и Анджелина Джоли. Он был слеп, а когда прозрел, увидел Андрея Малахова. Китайцы украли его отца. Единственный выбор для него — взять в руки арбалет и отомстить обидчикам. Откровенное кино от Юрия Грымова, где любой ценой побеждает любовь.
Gleb, who tells his story in the very beginning, is being raised in a small town by his grandfather, a dentist, who teaches the blind boy to shoot. Later he is taken care of by his runaway father, a racketeer himself. When the father's apartment is destroyed with a barrage of machine-gun shots fired by the rival thugs, they travel to the Black Sea coast where both settle in a small resort. When he turns 22, he is cynically pushed by his father to lose his virginity during a visit to the nearby strip-club "New York," which is presented to him as the real America. His daddy, now a politician, is brutally massacred while he recovers sight at this very moment. His resolute determination is to avenge his father. It also develops the motive of true love and fidelity, started earlier when as a young boy vows to marry Nastia, his neighbor in the provincial town, and now finds her namesake reincarnation in a contemporary artist, a girl with shaved-head hairstyle. An idyllic love story ensues.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
