The Garage
The Garage is a Soviet 1979 comedy-drama film directed by Eldar Ryazanov, based on a screenplay by Emil Braginsky.
Plot
Set in the Soviet Union in the late 1970s, the story unfolds in the fictional "Research Institute for the Protection of Animals from the Environment," specifically within a zoological museum where members of the garage construction cooperative "Fauna," founded by the institute's employees, are gathered. The cooperative’s leadership, including chairperson Valentin Sidorin, vice director Lydia Anikeeva, and accountant Alla Petrovna, announces that part of their planned garage area will be affected by a new highway, meaning they need to reduce the number of available garages. They present a pre-approved list of four people who are to be cut, but several members, especially those most vulnerable, protest the decision and demand a fairer selection process.
