(Andrei Nekrasov, 1993) Miss Grant, a Scottish spinster, hears of statues of Lenin being sold in Berlin, and decides to bring one back to her remote Highland home, where its presence has a transformative effect. This road movie has an episodic structure, and marks the change in a woman's life after her mother has died. The quiet comic tone of this gentle short film is well captured in the small encounters in Flora's (Geraldine McKewan) journey, which reflects upon the changing attitudes in Germany and Scotland in the 1990s. 23 min/In English
