About The Guide
Artem, an unlucky but cheerful student, is undeservedly imprisoned for 15 days. The situation is complicated by the fact that he has a friend, a Rottweiler named Boy, who has absolutely nowhere to go. And yet Artem manages to get him adopted - a charming stranger Sasha becomes the temporary mistress of Boy. Returning two weeks later to pick up the dog, Artem suddenly notices that Sasha is blind. He decides to leave the girl a guide dog and, unnoticed by her, to settle in her apartment....
Directed by Aleksandr Efremov, The Guide leans on a strong ensemble — Pyotr Yurchenkov Jr., Valeriya Arlanova, Dzhemal Tetruashvili — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2001.
