The Art of Selling
Mr. Vain is a legendary sales training instructor in Estonia. He worked with great success in the US for six weeks as a door-to door book peddler. Mark is inviting young active people to a meeting promoting the prospect of becoming successful salesmen in America. A middle-aged widow has lost her money and self-esteem. Now she is trying to overcome the depression by beginning a new life as a Tupperware sales representative. Art of Selling chronicles the impact of fundamental changes taking place in post-Communist societies that force people to seek new means to guide them through life.
BAM - Railroad to Nowhere
BAM, or Baikal-Amur Magistral, was Leonid Brezhnev's plan to build more than 3500 km of railroad, along with 200 stations and communities in five years in Southern Siberia. The work was to be done mainly by Komsomol elite youth. "BAM - Railroad to Nowhere" is a documentary about the pioneering spirit, about people who built the future with their own hands and how today they are trying to hold on to it, even if the rest of the world would like to forget them.
