Sinopsis(1)

Oleg is heading for his thirties. He works as a paramedic and, after a hard shift, he likes to take a few swigs. His wife Katya is also a doctor, working in the hospital's emergency department. But her patience with Oleg is running thin, so she announces one day that she wants a divorce... One of the most intriguing filmmakers on the Russian scene today, Boris Khlebnikov returns to the big screen with a meticulous piece of direction. Along with precise performances from the cast, the film examines a relationship experiencing an arrhythmia similar to that affecting the hearts of the patients Oleg treats in his job as a paramedic.

POMO

español Película llena de preocupaciones de la vida cotidiana de un joven médico que durante el día monta una ambulancia salvando a la gente, y por la noche trata de salvar la relación personal - en la mayoría de los casos con vodka en la mano. Las emociones y la química de la relación conyugal están retratadas bien, al igual que la complejidad de la profesión médica influenciada por burocracia. Es humorística sólo en las insinuaciones y muy triste por no tener solución. ()

inglés 52nd KVIFF – A very decent depiction of pure Russian human suffering amid a block of flats in an unnamed Russian city. Oleg works as a doctor in an ambulance. Katya is a doctor in a hospital. Both of them work for people and they are both completely exhausted from people. Katya would like a more decent life but Oleg drinks like a fish. In the first scene, he convinced me that thanks to his love for alcohol he would drink all bottles of vodka in pubs, nonstop shops, restaurants, and bars Mladá Boleslav has to offer in two hours. On the other hand, I envied him terribly, because he was able to drink liters of vodka and leave in the morning to save people as if nothing ever happened. I drink seven beers on a weekday night and then, in the morning, I have to fight my blanket to let me go to work. Nevertheless, Arrhythmia wasn’t only about the local Russian soul, it was also pretty funny. It kept poking fun at Oleg, which wasn’t entirely funny, but it also indiscriminately teased hypochondriac people, which was funny… very funny. ()

español Más bien, es sólo un estudio de relación superficial en el que los sufrimientos diarios de los médicos que se enfrentan a hipocondriacos, casos agudos complicados, demandas poco realistas de un nuevo jefe y quejas histéricamente distorsionadas de “clientes” insatisfechos capturan más que los problemas sentimentales de la pareja central. No hay grandes emociones ni giros, sin embargo, la trama transcurre sin problemas y a un ritmo decente, el tema es interesante y toca muchas preguntas, temas y motivos notables, de los cuales, no obstante, solo unos pocos se cierran al final.
