The Asthenic Syndrome
The showmakers
Overview
In the old days it was called hypochrondria, or black melancholia. Now, apparently, it's termed the Asthenic Syndrome. Whatever it is, Nikolai, a teacher of epicly indifferent pupils, has got it, and it's not much fun.
Indie vibes check
A Soviet film with independent themes but produced under controlled conditions, limiting its indie status.
