About A.D.
A fashionable Moscow Photographer receives an order unprecedented in mystery and cost: five oriental-type models in stylized costumes should pose for him against the background of the ruins of the westernmost city in Russia - St. Petersburg, and the sequence of shooting locations is strictly defined. Performing an exotic task, the Photographer realizes that the Customer is not really interested in the pictures. He needs to get hold of a photographic relic from the beginning of the XX century, which is kept by the Photographer.
Directed by Dmitriy Svetozarov, A.D. leans on a strong ensemble — Danila Kozlovsky, Yevgeniya Igumnova, Sergey Barkovsky — 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 thriller titles of 2009.
