In Russia, it’s been dangerous for ordinary people to speak up against Vladimir Putin’s regime for years, but new censorship laws introduced since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 have made it tougher than ever. Despite huge risks, Russian filmmakers have been filming the impact of the war inside their country. Whilst many thousands have fled, those that stayed are having to choose - to oppose, support or stay silent about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In this film, intimacy is created through the human gaze. The gaze becomes the support of life, and the very life of a person turns into an act of looking, contemplating oneself. Looking into his own memory, captured on video, or into the natural landscape, the viewer seeks to discern order in chaos, to discern the actions of specific forces in the elements, to discern the plot in the flow of time.

Tanya works as a taxi driver 101 km from Moscow. Here everyone knows each other, if not personally, then through acquaintances. It seems to belated passengers that they have met Tanya more than once; heart-to-heart conversations and drunken confessions are constantly heard in a taxi. And although Tanya is the fifth for the dispatchers of her fleet, she is always the first by nature. She obscenely curses the workers who washed her car badly, raises children herself and sells vodka in large quantities, at night, after working in a taxi.

The film paints a portrait juxtaposing two immigrants : Irina Makeenko, born in France but who left to live in the USSR at the age of 12, and Vladimir Kozlov, the film’s director, who arrived in France after the fall of the Soviet Union. White Russians established in the region of Toulouse since the 1920s, the parents of Irina Makeenko believed in Stalin’s promises and returned to the USSR in 1947. Nearly 50 years later, after Perestroïka, Vladimir Kozlov did the same journey in reverse – he, also, motivated by the dream of a better life.

Zakhar is 7 years old, and his brother Procopius is 9. Each of the brothers already has his own deer and his own tundra for nomadic life. Previously, children born in a nomadic family at this age were almost forcibly taken away to study at a boarding school on the mainland. And they rarely returned to their parents' house. Trying to preserve the traditions of the nomadic peoples in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the authorities decided to revive the practice of "nomadic schools" that disappeared in Russia in the 1930s. This is how 23-year-old Nelly Andreevna ends up in the Zharkov family in order to explain to Zakhar and Prokopiy why mathematics is needed in life and who Vladimir Putin is.

Far from civilization, where the ties between Man and Nature are still close, one can feel the true breath of the earth, the unity of living and inanimate matter. Rich in poetic visual images, the picture invites you to go into the world of your own sensory experience, to breathe along with the tundra, complementing the video and sound range with your own feelings, experiences and associations. To some extent, this is also an experimental film, an attempt to find new possibilities of film language.
