Nothing revolutionary. But a solid tale of Soviet-era man love.
It doesn't hurt that the male leads are insanely attractive in their communist uniforms.
It does take the viewers through the lengths they go through to hide their romance in an impossible situation.
The acting is quite good. There's those two other guys that do mean things are super-jerks. And the one guy who you think should be bad was kinda surprisingly nice. I suppose Luisa had to exist.
The plot is simple and well-paced. Poor Dima and the apple pie.
The ending is the ending that one can imagine for a story set within the Iron Closet.
The music is efficiently used.
I do hope to see both of main actors appearing in a great many future projects.
