The memory of World War II is the only thing that makes a small Russian town alive. Like a great treasure this memory is preserved here in every home and is passed on from generation to generation. Yet exactly this memory prevents people from understanding that despite their own will they are getting involved in a new war.

Our village has always been a place of exile, a land of prisoners. Once in the winter, on the edge of the village we found an old man in an old car. He was freezing. He had nothing and was from nowhere. Now he lives in the cellar of our church. Step by step we get to know his story.

This is a road movie about one Russian girl, who left everything and moved to India. She has nothing except small bag and tragic story behind. She travels alone all around India in searching for the purpose of leaving. But her past always follows her. Who knows weather she will be able to become free of it? The main idea of the film can be defined in such words as eternal flow of life, where Kate's life is just a blink, but in this blink the whole eternity is reflected.

A few stories about dreams, death and love in Stockholm.

Somewhere far away, on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, one man dreamed of starting a family.

Anya was an ordinary Moscow teenager who found a chat group of her choice online. They talked about animals, the stars and social issues. A man called Ruslan D joined the group, who set up an office space for the online group to meet. Step by step, he began to lead young people who were critical of the Putin's regime towards political activism. Ruslan D placed a camera in the meeting room, and when he had enough footage, he handed it over to the prosecutor. The police raided the teenagers' homes and they were arrested on charges of planning to overthrow the government and terrorism. Three years of legal proceedings transformed Anya's mother from a loyal follower of Putin to a hunger-striking activist. Moscow-based director Anna Shishova followed Anya and her mother's life throughout the event and eventually revealed the true identity of Ruslan D.
