Kristal
Kristal, an over 40-year-old blond show dancer, drives around in a Lada car to small pubs and entertains people. At first, she seems a bit ridiculous, self-sufficient but naive, a potential victim, a circus animal, but in the end, she comes out as something else. Kristal is a weird saint, who bears all the hate, despair, lust and confusion around her and through that gives people a momentary relief.
