"As a Beginning" is a lyrical tribute to the intersection of loss and salvation. The film glistens with memorable performances by Sergey Danielian, the statuesque Yury Kostanian (in his roles as a leading pantomime and a priest), and the ebullient cast of young pantomimes whose aching beauty seems to scream, "The show must go on. "
