Elena

Synopsis

A quiet, dutiful former nurse living with her wealthy, miserly second husband in a luxurious Moscow penthouse apartment requests money to bribe college admissions officers for her unemployed, alcoholic son's draft-age boy, but when the husband suffers a heart attack, writes a will leaving everything to his estranged daughter, and refuses to help, Elena commits a calculated, undetectable murder by substituting his medication with Viagra. Andrey Zvyagintsev and Philip Glass's Cannes Special Jury Prize-winning unsparing class thriller.
