About Milky Way
Something broke down in Andrey and Nadia's marriage. He goes to live in Moscow, she and the children stay in Irkutsk. On New Year's Eve, the family gets together again, but it seems to be the last time. The word "divorce" sounds quite definite. On January 1, it would seem that everything has already been decided, but a whole chain of events - funny, sad, sometimes even strange and inexplicable - seems to be keeping the family from taking the wrong step. They will all get lost and find each other on this magical night on the island of Olkhon and realize that past grievances are easy to forget, but there is something much more important in life.
Directed by Anna Matison, Milky Way leans on a strong ensemble — Sergey Bezrukov, Marina Aleksandrova, Vladimir Menshov — 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 2016.
