They are the most talented students of the provincial music school. There are four of them, they are a Quartet, and their common dream is to win an international music competition. But their life is not a series of lessons and rehearsals, their life is a constant struggle with their fears, manias and the world around them. Meet. First violin, Andrey is a kleptomaniac, unable to cope with his pernicious passion, which destroys his life. Polina, the second violinist, is madly devoted to music, and in order to maintain the instrument, buy Austrian strings and a dress in which even Schnittke would not be ashamed to play, works as a prostitute. Viola player Masha suffers from schizophrenia and believes that their Quartet is the embodiment of spirits from the fifth purple world. And the main character, cellist Nastya, lives under a false name and hides some terrible secret – and does not even know that a gang of thugs is 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.
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.
