Query: Adoption in Post-Soviet Film/TV/Fiction

[Gerald McCausland]

Hello Eliot:

Pavel Chukhrai's 2004 film "A Driver For Vera" ends with an adoption of 
sorts, albeit more metaphorical than formal. I'm not sure what your 
specific interest is, but the whole issue of orphanhood, with it's 
mandatory accompaniments--maternal faith(ful/less)ness, paternal 
(il)legitimacy, national (lack of) identity--is central to this film's 
thematic.

Best,
	Jerry
