Movie description:

Eight years old boy Sasha becomes a hostage of unconditional love of his grandmother. He is a stake in convoluted relationship between his mother, mother’s husband, his grandmother and grandfather.

The story in the novel is told by a first person narrator, an eight years old boy living with his grandparents, who would not let him see his mother, while the boy always dreams about seeing her and those rare moments that he spends with her are the happiest in his life. The grandmother, who is dominant in the family, tries to control the little boy’s life as much as she can. She believes that her grandson has all the diseases of the world and that he is going to die soon. She loves the boy but her love is mostly expressed in cussing at him and cursing him. One of the zings of the book is the consummate cuss language used by the grandmother.
»Pokhoronite menya za plintusom« is based on an autobiographical novel by Pavel Sanayev – a young writer, screenwriter, film director and translator.
