background
The film uses rock songs of a musical style that was new in the Soviet Union at the time, which are sung mainly by the singer Sofia Rotaru and in part by Mikhail Boyarsky and Maschina Wremeni. In addition, Seele contains some philosophical dialogues with self-criticism by the artists as well as existential approaches to the philosophy of the golden mean , which weighs up between artistic creationism and respect for human dignity. In the film, there is a scene that is considered the first Soviet music video, with Sofia Rotaru and Mikhail Boyarsky jumping on a trampoline in gold stretch fabric.
In December 2001, before the opening of Sofia Rotaru's Moscow concert program Mein Leben - Meine Liebe , the DVD version of the film was released, which was number 5 in sales in Russia.
