Good Bye, My Love, Good Bye!

The monologue of a grown-up woman, whose husband is leaving her for his young mistress. The viewer does not know until the final frames whether the heroine is actually speaking with her husband or simply rehearsing a future conversation, in which she thanks her husband for the time together, assures him that his decision is the right one, confirms his honest choice of heart, and remembers the touching moments of their past, releasing her husband and promising to cope with loneliness. And only the unexpected finale uncovers for the viewer the woman's true desire in this moment.

Directed by Aleksandr Tsypkin, Pasha Kapinos, Kseniya Rappoport, Good Bye, My Love, Good Bye! leans on a strong ensemble — Kseniya Rappoport, Aleksandr Tsypkin — 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 2018.
