After a fire on an abandoned farm near a small provincial town, several female bodies are found buried. All the women have been killed in the past two years, their hands are tied behind their backs with fishing line and their mouths are filled with sand. One of the victims is the wife of a local influential businessman, Eduard Kalashnikov, who disappeared five years ago. His daughter Alina, who came to see her father and introduce him to her fiancé Denis, gets entangled in a web of fears and suspicions. For the first time in her life, Alina herself makes a serious decision: she remains in the city and tries to figure out what is happening, despite the danger, risking her life and love. She will have to grow up, understand how cruel this world is, and make a choice between the two most dear people.
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.
