Great acting, superb direction: a subtle equilibrium between intensity and airiness/gentleness

I watched this movie to create a moment of complicity with my 13 yo daughter (and to practice Russian). With different level of "reading" we were both amazed. The main actors have a mind-blowing talent. The subtility, fragility and intensity of the characters emotions is reflected by the esthetics of the movie taking place in this working class environment. So simple and so perfect at the same time, the layers of the mother's emotions are brought to us in a manner that is so simple and subtle at the same time. A real gem well hidden for us, non Russian cinema lovers. My daughter says she never saw teenagers emotions and "drama" so precisely depicted by "the world of adults" and with such kindness.
