A brief study of the unusual history of one old film frame.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to look into every St. Petersburg courtyard. Quiet and strange life of the "inner space" of St. Petersburg, sounding behind the scenes stories from the life of city dwellers. This film is a short study on the theme "Portrait of my city".

This is a film about people sitting in booths in the middle of a big city, shoemakers, policemen, stationmasters, security guards and guest workers.

A film about Soviet childhood. The focus is on an ordinary Soviet boy, whose story is full of humor and colorful phrases. It is conducted from his birth to the festive graduation night. The whole life of the guy flashes on the screen, the Octobrists, red ties, faith in the victory of communism, admiration for Lenin, the Olympics-80, the iron curtain and the rejection of Western values, the first dances and falling in love, everything points to an irrevocably gone time. Through the prism of everyday life and holidays of an ordinary guy, a whole era of the cult of socialism and faith in the Soviet Union emerges. The film "Collection No. 1" turns back time, making you remember the past with nostalgia.
