Russian is the story of a man looking for love his entire life.

Russian is the story of a man who changed three names, three political systems, three wives and three religions. He is a member of the Russian mafia, son of a famous Bosnian film director, but also a boy looking for love. Combining elements of documentary and fiction, this intriguing structure opens up the dramatic experience of a real-life character through the directed encounter with well-known Croatian actor Leon Lučev, who is here positioned as a sort of psychotherapist.
