Program Note
Marusya is crying at her friend Kimi’s funeral. Their relationship over a decade
has come to an end, and this is where the story starts. Maruysa and Kimi are
rebels against the status quo and partners in crime, struggling to live – or
at least feel alive – in Russia, a “federation for the depressed.” The couple
shares fleeting moments of joy that feel like balancing on a tightrope. They
go to indie music concerts, adopt a cat, participate in political protests, trying
their very best to avoid being caught up in the misery and anxiety from which
their generation suffers. Can they save themselves or each other? It takes so
much courage to record one’s most fragile moments, and even more courage
to display it for everyone to see. This documentary is frighteningly raw and
honest, fearsomely intimate and tender, a personal memoir that speaks to the
soul of all the young and restless millennials. (Karen PARK)
