Marusya Syroechkovskaya

Marusya is 16 and, like many Russian teenagers, is determined to end her life. Then she meets her soulmate in another millennial, Kimi. They spend a decade filming the euphoria and anxiety, the happiness and misery of their youth, muzzled by a violent and autocratic regime in the midst of a “depressed Russia”. This film is a cry from the heart, a tribute to an entire silenced generation.

He knows better how much you need - 0.5 or 0.7. No one needs him, though his phone rings off the hook. He is running out of time, but he can't stop. He is the pure one.

A strange phenomenon happens in Kalachi village situated in northern Kazakhstan. During a season of thaw or rain the inhabitants routinely fall into an inexplicably long sleep, which can last up to two weeks.
