“The Ugly Swans” is a movie based on the Strugatsky brother’s novel, directed by Kostantin Lopushansky already known for the former movie “Dead Man's Letters" where Lopushansky describes dying worlds also using some reminds to Tarkovskij.

The “Ugly Swans” are a new mankind that can survive further the destruction of the humanity, they make questions that can only be satisfied by an higher spiritual condition.

Are new people an anomaly to fight against or are they a chance to evolve towards a better world?

"Yippie-ki-yay, motherf—er!"
