Russian-born director Aleksey Lapin travels back to his relatives’ home village near the Ukrainian border, where he himself used to spend every summer. The film crew introduce themselves at a specially organized musical event, claiming that they have come to cast a historical film that is to be set in the village. What follows is a charming, semi-fictional documentary by and with the village community. The cinematography in black and white is notable, full of references to classic Russian films, timeless and timely at the same time. Lapin’s feature-length debut is not only an affectionate local portrait with a sense for the absurd, but also a film about film.

Contemporary artists are judged by their work. At the same time, the process of creating these works remains hidden from the majority. A few days in the company of Casimir Klein, the “apologist of true art” (as he calls himself), during the preparation of his next performance, allow me to feel the essence of contemporary art. Before us is the opportunity to see how a certain creation is experienced by the creator from conception to execution, what obstacles and unexpected twists of fate (and Klein, one gets the impression, believes in fate) the creative force encounters on its way. Wandering around the city at night in search of inspiration, exploring the space of creativity, talking with the muse, going beyond one's own responsibility, searching for insight, accompanied by an escape from oneself. The promise of high, bright, never seen before.
