The end of the 90s of the last century was a time when a Russian tennis started talking seriously in the world.

After decades of lagging behind in this sport, our compatriots suddenly and decisively broke into the world tennis elite.

Although more accurate to say - our compatriots.

In fact, unknown to anyone until then Russian girls from all over the former Soviet Union - Moscow and St.

Petersburg, Riga and Siberia - step by step began to win prestigious tennis tournaments in the United States and France, Australia and Spain.

There is enough to mention the names of Anna Kournikova and Anastasia Myskina, Maria Sharapova and Anna Chakvetadze, Dinara Safina and Elena Dementieva, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Jane Doe.

We have before us a list of the world's tennis stars of the first magnitude.

Their performance in any tennis tournament makes this event significant sporting event, and their well-deserved fame and popularity nationwide can not be questioned.

However, why it happened that way in the Russian women's tennis?

What turned out to be caused by such a bright and spectacular breakthrough of our compatriots in the world tennis elite?

The price paid for the victory, high fees and worldwide fame, of course, great.

But these girls have made their choice, and nothing spared.

Another thing is what they believe themselves now - the Russian women, an American or Spaniard?

The term emigration in the explanatory dictionary, we find the following explanation - from the Latin emigro - evicted, leaving the citizens of his country to another country for permanent residence, or a more or less long-term political, economic and other reasons.

The emigrants and emigration have been and probably always will be an integral part of any political regime, the regime of government.

This process shows the interpenetration of ethnic groups, cultures, traditions, problems, which obviously can not be resolved, being permanently confined to one land, the country, one city and way.

Naturally, the vast space once the Russian Empire and then the Soviet Union, and now the Russian Federation, numerous peoples inhabiting these spaces and political storms that raged in these spaces in the twentieth century, have given many reasons to talk about such a concept as the Russian emigration.

Moreover, in a global context.

The film "Adrift" is not trying to understand and explain the origins and consequences of Russian emigration as a whole.

We just show the lives of some Russian emigres living in a small town in Florida.

In the province of Emilia-Romagna, near the small town of San Pietro in Casale, a house in a vast cornfield.

Several years ago, came to Moscow and visit the exhibition of paintings by contemporary Russian artists, suddenly found himself Pierluigi fell in love with art.

Since then he has not only buys the works of Russian artists for his collection.

He regularly organizes exhibitions and art exhibitions of works of Russian artists, as well as to invite them and their families to themselves, to introduce them to Italy.

So love Mr.

Selma Russian art has enabled the Italians to get acquainted not only with painting but also with artists from Russia.

And for Russian artists it has become not only a pleasant acquaintance with modern Italian colleagues, but also a kind of school (not casual gold medalists of the Academy of Arts of the tsarist government gave a scholarship to study in Italy), and the opportunity for them to appreciate the magnitude and beauty of Italian art.

We live in a rather difficult, perhaps even cruel, when the thought of some people are searching for "daily bread" and other multiplication of wealth, race for which is converted into the purpose of life.

We have less and less leave the boundaries of this busy world: almost do not read serious literature, do not think about the higher meaning of life, and most importantly - have long forgotten how to dream.

But, thank God, we still live among people who continue to think in images, and not only in the usual areas such as art and literature.

It turns out that you can think imaginatively and creating mechanical design - sophisticated clocks, calendars or just mechanisms, which have no analogues in the age of space velocities and chips.

This film - a portrait of a highly superior man, combining mechanics and philosopher, artist and craftsman.

In this sense, our hero is continuing the traditions of Leonardo, Raymond Lull, Albert the Great, James Bruce ...

Without people like Victor Molchanov our world would have lost some of its color and much of its meaning.

Sky ...

Element, presented to the birds and the ever-alluring people with its mystery and unexplored.

For many centuries people dreamed of learning to fly and soar in the sky as proudly and majestically as they walked the earth.

But only recently humanity has seen the invention called a parachute, which allowed them to develop the air.

Who are they?

Sky Heroes or insane?

What they are looking at the top, so far from the land on which the are accustomed to go to the party?

What causes them to constantly throw all his affairs, forget about family and friends and rush towards the unknown?

Why is no risk of any death of comrades, or their own incidents do not stop them?

Passion?

Madness?

Whim?

The pursuit of happiness mythical or attempted suicide?

The film tries to answer the question, why in this world there are people for whom minute experience in the air means more than all life on earth; Why are people so different, are so closely linked to the general love of parachutes.
