About Stories... Stories... Stories from the Old Arbat
In one of the quiet cozy alleys of old Moscow lives a talented puppet master. He has a faithful friend Christopher, a son Kuzya and a lot of dolls. Unexpectedly, a sweet and gentle girl, Viktosha, appears in the house, whom both father and son, and even the dolls, have fallen in love with.
Directed by Savva Kulish, Stories... Stories... Stories from the Old Arbat leans on a strong ensemble — Igor Vladimirov, Zinoviy Gerdt, Kirill Arbuzov — 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 1982.
