Natasha Goncharova

Errol and Sasha, two young women in their twenties, drift through their lives and the city. A study by fragments of existences waiting to happen.

Shot on Mini DV and mostly in Paris, Towards the Light is a personal diary of exile. Through images of light, landscapes and memory, the film captures a year (2023) of reflective solitude in exile for Russian filmmaker Vadim Kostrov and his wife, artist Natasha Goncharova. A poetic meditation on displacement, loss and the search for light through darkness.
