Russian What Is Kin About?
The premise of Kin without spoilers.
Maria Konovalova travels from her village to her daughter Nina’s city apartment, where her arrival contrasts rural life with urban modernity and exposes family tensions. The word Родня echoes Родина—‘Motherland’—and the film follows women—Maria, Nina and granddaughter Irina—each representing a different era of Russia, past, present and future.
