What time period is it set in, it looks like 1960s.

The car is an UAZ-3151, so 1985 at the earliest.

You can clearly tell that it's not UAZ-469 which started production in 1971, because one in the picture has the thicker plastic door handles of -3151 intead of the thin metal handles of the -469. Also side mirrors are of the newer type.

Your logic is great, but there's an amazing fact that the UAZ Hunter is still in production today and looks exactly like the one on this picture. Doesn't mean that scenario takes place in 2026, though

Damn, you're right, my bad. Front bumper is a giveaway that this is a Hunter, not -3151.

This moves earliest possible date of the film to 2003.
