Bridge (Мост) is a musical film, the first USA/USSR student co-production.[1]
Contents |
A bittersweet love story that takes place in the vision of their futures of two children, one American and one Soviet. The Soviet dreams of coming here, while the American dreams of dancing with the Bolshoi Ballet. As both try to pursue their goals, symbolically both countries still have a long way to go. The film is not political. The focus is on the cultures and people of our two dynamic countries.
The first US/USSR student co-production,[1] the film was screened via-satellite at American embassies around the world during the May/June 1990 summit between then presidents George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev.[1]
