Russia early 90-ies. Freedom of speech and freedom of action. Many criminal groups are trying to grab a piece of the pie of the dying Empire. The thirst for power and money leads to more and more fights and murders. Another victim discovered by investigators in his own apartment. Alina is the only witness found sleeping at the crime scene. The case is entrusted to an experienced investigator who does not even suspect what a criminal hive he will have to stir up. The girl, fascinated by the constantly gloomy, but very charming detective, decides to help. But excessive talkativeness threatens the witness with death. A professional killer is already following in her footsteps...
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.
