The film is centered on young people who live in a moral vacuum, with no aspirations or goals in life. The main character, 18 year old Valera, was once a promising footballer, playing under the most sought-after number 10. But an injury eliminated his chances of a professional career. After several years at a major football academy, he returned to his home town. While waiting to enter compulsory military service, Valera is dating Sveta, a girl of seemingly no ambition, who works a dead-end job as a supermarket cashier. But their relations are nearly limited to sex. Valera's only friends in the neighborhood are a couple of hoodlums he once went to secondary school with. Hanging out with them, he eventually slips into crime...

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.
