Overview
Marusya is 16 and, like many Russian teenagers, is determined to end her life. Then she meets her soulmate in another millennial, Kimi. They spend a decade filming the euphoria and anxiety, the happiness and misery of their youth, muzzled by a violent and autocratic regime in the midst of a “depressed Russia”. This film is a cry from the heart, a tribute to an entire silenced generation.

[VdR'22] Chronicle of hopelessness through drug dependency of the director's best friend, in an oppressive environment in Russia in the early 2000s. Within a grunge and rebellious youth, in a country that director defines as "Depression Federation", the suicide rate among young people is too high to go unnoticed. With a splendid edition, this video diary becomes a wake-up call against despair.
