Still Waters ( is 2000 Russian romantic comedy-drama directed by Eldar Ryazanov.
Anton M. Kashtanov is a talented surgeon and head of a large clinic. He decides to escape his domineering and bad-tempered wife Polina in the village of Still Waters. Here he reconnects with his childhood friend, the head of the local nature reserve. This pastoral idyll is unsettled by one matter: at the time of Kashtanov's departure two million dollars have disappeared from his foundation. Two strong women, who are a police detective and a TV reporter, launch independent investigations.
Hot on KashtanovâÂÂs heels is the dolled-up TV reporter Jackie, who has sniffed out a sensational story, as the surgeon has been put on the federal wanted list for his own disappearance along with two million in hard currency. There, at the exclusive boat station where the surgeon has found work as a boatman, the two of them embark on a romance.
