The Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station is the most powerful in Russia and the sixth largest in the world. It was built during the Soviet Union from 1963 to 1978 on the Yenisei River in Siberia. In 2009, one of the world's largest man-made disasters occurred at the hydroelectric power plant, which claimed the lives of 75 people. It took five years and 40 billion rubles to resume the operation of the station. And although the exact cause of the accident has not yet been established, the engineers accused of the accident have been imprisoned.

A year before the war, Russia experienced a wave of mass protests triggered by the arrest of Alexei Navalny, a politician detained upon his return to Russia after an assassination attempt by FSB agents. Protesters and allies of Navalny fell under the weight of repression. Over 180 people from various parts of the country faced criminal prosecution, many organizations were forced to shut down, and a wave of political emigration began. The domestic repression served as a foundation for the onset of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, suppressing the voices of those who could have spoken out against it. OVD-Info tells the stories of the participants in the Palace Case, the most massive politically motivated criminal campaign in Russia before the war. We produced a documentary about five individuals: IT developer Alexander Federyakov, student Anastasia Ponkina, university teacher Victoria Novikova, taxi driver Valery Evsin, and blogger Vladimir Egorov. Political scientist Ekaterina Shulman and lawyer Mikhail Biryukov provide commentary. We made this film to draw attention to all political prisoners in Russia and to show how people who found the courage to protest are living.

Fisherman Volodya lives in the Abkhazian village of Bambora on the Black Sea coast. A former thief and murderer, today he is a hospitable host and an exemplary family man.

Children, animals, mountains, grapes, Abkhazia seems like an earthly paradise, but traces of shells on the walls and military helicopters in the sky constantly remind of its fragility.
