Dear, Dearest, Beloved, Unique...

Vadim, a part-time dump truck driver in Leningrad, picks up an extremely young woman, along with a newborn baby. Vadim is forced to spend the rest of his day with Anna, helping her untangle herself from unpleasant, dramatic, and even tragic situations – and she and she alone is to blame for all of them. The baby, which Anna stole in order to make an impression on an estranged lover, is finally returned to its parents, but the problems that the theft caused remain.

Directed by Dinara Asanova, Dear, Dearest, Beloved, Unique... leans on a strong ensemble — Olga Mashnaya, Valeriy Priyomykhov, Lembit Ulfsak — 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 drama titles of 1985.
