Dark Eyes (Ochi chernye) (DVD 1)
1987, 57+64 min.
An Italian, Romano (Marcello Mastroianni, Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival), while at a European spa, falls in love with a young Russian woman. He leaves his opulent life in Italy, to pursue his love into Russia, in hopes of seeing, and, perhaps, beginning an altogether new life… The Russian soul with its eternal mystery, Russian provincial ways and Chekhovian motives in Nikita Mikhalkov's directing took on satirical, farcical hues.

Close to Eden (Urga: Territory Of Love) (Urga - Territoriya Lyubvi) (DVD 3)
1991, 110 min.
Adopting as a plot a seemingly anecdotal story about a shepherd from the Mongolian steppe going to a city to buy condoms, because the law forbade him to have more than three children, the director succeeded in creating a work of art of the highest standard, rich with genuine kindness, humanity and compassion, preaching tolerance and cross-cultural understanding, though not once sounding bombastic.

This film is the first part of the Mikhalkovs-Konchalovskys family saga ("Mother", "Father"). The film's heroine, the director's daughter Anna, answers the author's questions throughout 10 years of her life. Her answers are intertwined with archive newsreels breathing of the era.
The pulse of history, the evolution of Russian society, the fall of the Great Empire are seen through the prism of the awareness of a growing person who must keep the dynasty's traditions…
