Synopsis

Courier is a minor masterpiece that energetically and humorously depicts the economic gloom, psychological emptiness, and prevailing insecurity of the late Soviet Union.

A young, disconcerting "original" (Fyodor Dunyaevsky) attempts to build a life following his parents' divorce and his own rejection from university.

He has only a short period of time remaining before the inevitable army conscription and decides to spend his days courting, after a fashion, Katya (Anastasiya Nemolyayevna), a girl he meets while delivering packages and causing disruption of every order in a society already wracked by upheaval.

Although ending on a note of sweet sadness, the film manages to raise quite a comedic 'monument' to the new 'original' Soviet type it portrays.

The film also features one of the great performances of "Autumn Marathon" and "Station for Two" star, Oleg Basilashvili in the role of Katya's father.
