    Sometimes, you just can't beat the Russians at anything. This movie is perfect. The sets and production are off the charts. The directing is phenomenal. The acting is flawless. Okay, the story is maybe a little plain, nonetheless, it's enjoyable to watch. THIS is a Christmas movie - not that crap Hollywood does these days.

The Stroll

Today’s twenty-something Russians are the first generation in the country’s post-communist history to have grown up free. Their twenties are the age of freedom, of fast-changing events and intense emotions. Perhaps only at this age they can live a whole life in one day. A young girl and her two accident companions walk halfway around St.-Petersburg; they flirt and tease each other, and for ninety minutes they act out a real-time romantic drama. This stroll is full of laughter and tears against a backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the streets.
