Anna: From Six Till Eighteen

Beginning when his daughter Anna is 6 years old, director Nikita Mikhalkov secretly makes home movies of her. For twelve years, he films her, always asking the same five questions about what she loved, feared and desired. As Anna grows older, her answers become more mature and uncertain, reflecting the enormous upheaval in Russian society during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Archival footage of TV news programs and Mikhalkov's commentary help round out the story of Anna -- and of Russia.
