A strange riverbank shrouded in fog and snow. Steel and cement scattered everywhere. An abandoned skyscraper. A highway bridge still unfinished at the flat area. A grand metal statue of a horse. And a sculpture of Lenin, with his right hand outstretched pointing to the open space. This is a cold, rigid wasteland, where the decayed past intersects with an imagined future. People wander aimlessly through this unreal world. What once seemed certain is no longer convincing; relatives and friends have vanished, ideals have drifted away. Sasha returns to her hometown from abroad, inheriting a legacy from her deceased father, who was once the owner of this construction site: a Kyrgyz worker searching for comrades; an architect with a patch of shiny red skin on his forehead; a tour guide who once stood shoulder to shoulder with Yeltsin at a Moscow barricade. Some of them inexplicably bleed from their noses. A young student asks, “Who are we? Who am I? Everything is chaotic.” Little Alexei German compresses the spiritual landscape of his homeland into a symbolic film of narrative in seven chapters, a smoothly designed dance of human and camera.
