Shortparis. Любовь моя будет тут poster
NR

A film about how the concept of humanism is refracted through the band’s work. Faces and voices fill the frame, the surrounding space, the auditorium, and everyone watching the screen with meaning. Simple conversations about dreams, fears, favorite foods, or childhood memories are no longer idle chatter, but a way to bridge the distance—an attempt, time and again, to truly see the person before you, even when the instinct to look away is at its strongest.
