The Crimean Bridge: Made with Love! (Russian: Крымский мост. Сделано с любовью!, romanized: Krymsky most. Sdelano s lyubovyu!) is a 2018 Russian propaganda film directed by Tigran Keosayan.[3][4]
Plot[]
The Crimean Bridge is being built in Kerch, a city in eastern Crimea, during a hot summer over a gentle sea. The men at the construction site are all after a beautiful archeology student named Varya. Between Viktor, a successful PR man from Moscow who arrived in a white convertible with an American television crew, and Dima, a young and ambitious builder, the question is who will win Varya's heart? While the two main protagonists attempt to charm her, a third character, Bernard, is trying to accomplish his dream of marrying an American and going to Hollywood.[5]
