House of Fools

Set in 1996, this is the true story of the patients of a Russian psychiatric asylum (in Caucasus, on the border between Chechnya and Ingushetia) who become involved with the Chechen War after their doctors, nurses and attendants abandon them (to... See more find buses to move them elsewhere), and a band of Chechen soldiers arrives to set up camp. Central to the story is a young female patient, Janna (Vysotskaya) who falls in love with a Chechen soldier, Ahmed (Islamov), abandoning her boyfriend, Canadian pop singer Bryan Adams (playing himself), who appears to her as a hallucination singing his hit, “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?”.
