About Love and Pigeons
In a remote Siberian village, a work injury sends Vasily Kuziakin on a paid trip to a Black Sea resort as compensation. There, he meets femme fatale Raisa Zaharovna and decides to stay with her. Such is the beginning of a new life for him, exciting and strange, but lacking his home, his wife and children, and his pigeons.
Directed by Vladimir Menshov, Love and Pigeons leans on a strong ensemble — Aleksandr Mikhaylov, Nina Doroshina, Lyudmila Gurchenko — 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 comedy titles of 1984.
