SYNOPSIS
Ivan Bibic returns to his Pittsburgh PA suburb after surviving a Japanse POW camp, causing regular nightmares. All the time he remained faithfully devoted to his childhood love, fellow ethnic Yugoslavian virgin Maria Bosic. She dates him again, thus ruining a virtual engagement to captain Al Griselli. Against Ivan's dad's advice, they get married. But Ivan became psychologically impotent, feels unworthy of her and starts wondering, even looking for another girl. Meanwhile slick guitar-and-song-busker Clarence Butts moves in to South-Western PA, and seduces Maria.

Andrei Konchalovsky
Director, screenwriter. In 1959, Andrei Konchalovsky graduated from the Moscow State Conservatory named for P. Tchaikovsky. In 1964, he entered VGIK where he studied under Mikhail Romm. Since 1979, lived and worked in USA. Konchalovsky's powerful Uncle Vanya (1971) is regarded by many people as one of the best films in the Russian language ever. Siberiade (1979) was internationally acclaimed and brought Konchalovsky to the attention of American and European producers. Pleasing critics and audiences worldwide, he made the English language films Maria's Lovers, Runaway Train, Duet for One, and the award-winning Homer and Eddie starring Whoopi Goldberg. Konchalovsky moved to the mainstream territory with the action packed Tango & Cash. For his last feature film Belye nochi pochtalona Alekseya Tryapitsyna, shot in his home country Russia, Andrei Konchalovsky won the Best Director award at the Venice IFF in 2014.
