This is a poetic film set in the times of Lenin's NEP. A ballet dancer steals a brooch and gives it as a present to another dancer. This is a crime of passion. A mysterious black ball is after the heroine. She runs away from it and manages to give the brooch in an exquisite pirouette movement, as shiny as diamond facets. What gives a stone its dazzling luster are its polished facets. But the real gem is love, and it's much harder to get than any diamond in the world.
Directed by Rustam Khamdamov, Diamonds. Theft leans on a strong ensemble — Renata Litvinova, Vyacheslav Manucharov, Dmitriy Mulyar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
