Pavel i Lyalya

Viktor Kossakovsky
1998 Russia; Israel 29 minutes Russian

Pavel is fatally ill. Before passing away, he absolutely wants to return to St. Petersburg. His wife promises him as much as she pushes him in his wheelchair through Jerusalem. Both are filmmakers from St. Petersburg, but when Pavel’s illness began, they left the city and moved to Jerusalem. Five years later, their mutual student Victor Kossakovsky visits them there, and films the last moments of their romance.
