German Premiere
Director: Sergey Loban
Section: Spotlight
Four short stories: "Love", Friendship", "Respect" and "Cooperation". All 4 parts take place in a small resort town on the Black Sea where the characters of each story face the decisive moments of their lives. And as they go through their personal dramas a surreal show is taking over the city, bringing all of them together in the center of an epic performance . . . As in life, the characters see themselves as the stars of their own dramas, the heroes of their own stories but to their environments they are simply extras.
"Light-hearted epic on four kinds of communication. Not just another Russian 'art-flick' but an off-beat manifesto on freedom and the despair of being yourself. This contemporary puzzle plunges you into inspiring weirdness. Be ready for being crazy."
