Near the Central Bus Station in the northern part of Israel, in the city of Karmiel, there is a 7-story building surrounded by a high fence with surveillance cameras. About 100 teenagers who came to Israel without families from the countries of the former Soviet Union live in this building. They undergo a nine-month adaptation course, after which they must turn from "Russians" into "Israelis". Excessively long stay in a closed atmosphere produces the opposite effect.

Current anthropological anima-doc is focusing on one of the most "vital" and tangible components of the world's cultural heritage – the cemetery architecture. It is also a gimmick celebrating death with a virtual life flicker, which attempts to capture everything related to the traditions of commemorating the deceased in Europe over the past 5,000 years. This oikumene art piece features very interesting and unique approaches stemming from historical traditions and their modern mutations. The film creates a pseudo-life with the help of the magic of hyperlapse, an anima technique. More than 70 cemeteries in 27 countries are covered in 15 minutes!

Among the participants in the film are Stalin's niece Kira Politkovskaya, Stalin's adopted son Artem Sergeev, Svetlana Alilluyeva, Stepan Mikoyan, Natalya Krestinskaya.
