Movie Info

Oleg is a young gifted paramedic. His wife Katya works at the hospital emergency department. She loves Oleg, but is fed up with him caring more about patients than her. She tells him she wants a divorce. The new head of Oleg's EMA substation is a cold-hearted manager who's got new strict rules to implement. Oleg couldn't care less about the rules--he's got lives to save. His attitude gets him in trouble with the new boss. The crisis at work coincides with the personal life crisis. Caught between emergency calls, alcohol-fueled off-shifts, and search for a meaning in life, Oleg and Katya have to find the binding force that keeps them together.

Critic Reviews for Arrhythmia (Aritmiya)

All Critics (5) | Fresh (5)

Feeling as emotionally strong as conceptually simple, Arrhythmia was handsomely crafted with powerful, thrilling scenes.

feels like a Russian Scrubs or ER-admittedly with a lot more vodka-fuelled benders.

Khlebnikov brings a modern European sensibility to his storytelling that recalls the intimacy of The Dardennes Brothers and the works of Romanian New Wave auteurs such as Cristian Mungiu.

Simon Foster
Screen-Space
Arrthymia is a well-crafted drama that, despite its modern day Russian setting, looks at some universal problems about relationships and what ties people together.

Film Inquiry
This sort of mundane approach might be viewed by some as a kind of artistic triumph of the middling. But is that all there is?
