The Collectors

Summary Fifty percent of us collect something. In this film we meet some of the UK's most eccentric collectors. From collecting adjustable spanners to Commodore cassettes; from Bakelite to china dogs and from valuable old Irish photographs to bric-a-brac, which takes over the house, it seems there are a countless number of ways to collect. Do we do it for nostalgic reasons and the longing for holding on to yesterday, or is it for some kind of recognition of status within a sub-culture. This documentary throws us into the world of collecting where we seek the answers to these questions. We look into how collecting began and how it has changed over time and ask the all important question - 'why do we collect?' View more details

Devyat soldat

Devyat soldat

The heroes of the series "Soldiers 9" act on three fronts at once. On the first - the personal front - Captain Dubin, Private Nosov and chepochnitsa Zotov are zealous. They are all trying to get reciprocity from people who hold a special place in their hearts. The heroes go on the attack and bare the rear. Then we will find out that Captain Dubin is able not only to justify his surname, but also to speak in a high calm about the most beautiful of feelings, Private Nosov is able to impress a pretty librarian with a luxurious bouquet and convincing knowledge of world classics, and Zotov's chepochnitsa is ready to learn how to play billiards, hoping to make a party for a young businessman. On the second front, there are no changes: soldiers and officers carry out their service. With honor, with humor, or whoever can. According to a bad army tradition, regular exercises suddenly fall into their daily routines from somewhere above. In them, the "red" (ours) will have to prevail over the "blue" (not ours). But the weekdays of the ninth "Soldiers" are not loaded with exercises alone, they have new joys and trials. No prisoners are taken on the third front, and the fighting is increasingly taking on the scale of a large-scale operation. The rivals have Napoleonic plans and long-standing scores to each other. The candidate for deputy Viktor Romanovich Kolobkov goes into big politics, and the inhabitants of the military unit have to follow him. The good news is that new recruits are coming to the unit.
