About Kids Playground
Living without parents, Zhanna and Roman are still almost children. She left the orphanage and went to work at a factory. He, tired of his grandmother's endless debts, got a job with the ambulance service after school. At first, their life together seemed secure. The young couple was happy until Roman got involved with a gang of thieves...
Directed by Svetlana Proskurina, Kids Playground leans on a strong ensemble — Dariya Shpalikova, Vadim Lyubshin, Nikolay Lavrov — 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 1987.
