Nirvana (2008): Cast, Box Office & Plot

In the early 2000s Russia, a young woman named Alisa, Olga Sutulova, moves to Saint Petersburg in search of a brighter future. She finds work as a nurse and rents a small, perpetually dim room in an apartment where light rarely reaches the corners. The building’s walls hold whispers of hardship, and her neighbors are part of a tight-knit circle of drug users—a bartender named Vel and her boyfriend, Valera “The Dead” Artur Smolyaninov. Disillusioned with people, Vel trusts almost no one, yet one person still tries to offer support: Valera. Still, their tenuous bond becomes strained when Valera begins an affair with Alisa, and Vel soon uncovers the betrayal, sparking a tense conflict between the two women.
