SCREENING OF THE MOVIE "ELEVEN SILENT MEN" 12+
The movie will tell about the famous tour of the Dynamo
Moscow football club to the British Isles in November 1945. Then the Soviet
team was nicknamed "Eleven Silent Men in Blue Coats" by the foreign
press.
To make the story more exciting for the audience, the
director added a fictional adventurous-romantic plot line related to the affair
between Soviet football player Vsevolod Bobrov and British journalist Abby.
Otherwise, however, the movie fairly faithfully reproduces the events as well as
the atmosphere of those years.
