Their names were Nadezhda, Alexandra and Galina. They were from Belarus and Russia. They were partisans and actively fought against the fascist invaders in their country before they were arrested by the Germans. It was the beginning of hell. After horrific torture and an endless journey in boxcars, they arrive in Thiel, a quiet little town in Lorraine. It houses a concentration camp, a crematorium, and an iron mine converted into a V1 rocket factory. Hundreds of women work like slaves at the bottom of the mine. Many of them will never return home. But 37 women managed to escape with the help of the French Resistance on May 8, 1944. Hiding in the forest of Argon, they decide to continue their struggle and form the only women's detachment "Motherland" in the French Resistance.

For the heroes of the film, difficult teenagers, a home-made costume of a life-size puppet is not only a legal opportunity to earn pocket money. This is both a way to hide from people and, at the same time, a way to establish communication with them. And in this "cocoon" metamorphoses imperceptibly occur with them.

The actors are the people and the police. The scene is the streets of the city of Moscow. This music documentary uses filming and editing techniques typical of a music video. Slowmo simultaneously refers to MTV clips and to the renaissance, and close-ups shot with a wide lens are reminiscent of a staged movie by Urusevsky or Lubezki. This is a piece from a rare genre of films directed by Ron Fricke and Leni Riefenstahl. When understanding occurs through the contemplation of reality.

An attempt to create a poetic document in the technique of experimental cinema. In order to outline the contours and determine the composition of the surrounding reality. Deviance in relation to the normative film language leads to the appearance of a dialect. And if a trope in literature is a figure of speech, then observation in cinema is a figure of visualization. Comparison of opposite phenomena in terms of form. Continuous monitoring of the outlines, gradation and contrast of phenomena. Pursuing their meanings and listening to their sound. The creation of a poetic document is like a competition for a new genre by fusing opposing disciplines, film and video. A message caught in a half-position, in motion from one meaning to another. Anticipation of possible meanings in the optics of continuous observation of the surrounding reality. And what if reality is just white noise.

This is a philosophical parable about people who do not live anywhere, namely on the Chusovaya, the river, as beautiful as it is not simple. For each protagonist, the most important question remains to answer the question why these places became a support for them in life, what they found here and how they made their choice.

In 2014-2015, Andrey Kurshin fought against Ukraine on the side of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic under the call sign "Moscow." Over time, he adopted a more moderate position, and after February 24, 2022, he began criticizing the Ministry of Defense and the actions of the Russian army, including for the civilian casualties. Kurshin wrote about the war on his Telegram channel, Moscow Calling. His posts caused a strong backlash in pro-Z channels, and he faced denunciations and threats of physical harm. On August 31, 2023, Kurshin was detained at Moscow's Leningradsky railway station, accused of spreading "fake news" about the Russian army. On August 7, a court in Moscow sentenced Kurshin to 6.5 years in a general-regime penal colony. After the sentencing, when he was already in custody, Kurshin told journalists that he was now "considering the possibility" of returning to the front if he could find a "suitable position" aligned with his experience. In its documentary, Mediazona recounts the story of Andrey Kurshin, who spent half of the last year and a half under house arrest.

The film "The Chronicle of Reality" is about the Leningrad-St. Petersburg Documentary Film Studio. Among the heroes of the film are not only famous film directors who shot films at the studio in different years, such as Mikhail Litvyakov, Alexander Sokurov, Victor Kosakovsky, Efim and Alekxey Uchitel, Edgar Bartenev, Pavel Kogan, Evgeny Yufit, Sergey Loznitsa, Nikolai Obukhovich, Lyudmila Stanukinas, but also employees of other professions. Without the energy of all these people, a unique phenomenon in the history of cinematography, the Leningrad-St. Petersburg Documentary Film Studio, would not have been born. The studio was created to shoot propaganda films under the control of communist ideology and managed to shoot lyrical pictures. These films still excite the viewer. The creative opposition of directors, screenwriters and cameramen was able to create, under the conditions of strict censorship, a unique language of film expression, based not on words but on images. "Chronicle of Reality" is a film about how the oldest film studio is imperceptibly changing, and how the country and its people are changing along with it.

The bifurcated gaze created by the simultaneous use of two cameras (conventional digital and monochrome fuchsia) depicts a leaden feeling of the city caught in a state of animated suspension.
