Galya's Friend
Una misteriosa “conferencia” se prepara en un teatro. Natasha, superviviente del sonado sitio de rehenes del teatro Dubrovka de Moscú en 2002 (primera crisis del gobierno de Putin, solucionada de polémica manera) organiza un acto conmemorativo para las víctimas. Una tensa y fantasmal ceremonia catártica con la que Tverdovskiy ("Jumpman") confecciona desconcertantes estampas y levanta escamas en la historia reciente de Europa. ¿Hasta qué punto la memoria histórica es un acto de justicia, una acción terapéutica o una traba para labrarnos un futuro? Tanto olvidar como recrearse en el trauma son dos filos de una misma navaja. (SEFF)

A film about love and loneliness; about family ties and responsibility, hope and its illusoriness.
The year is 1917. We are in the Russian countryside. It is the middle of freezing winter. A pale young, newly educated doctor arrives. Having to deal with one medical challenge after another he soon becomes the center of everyone's attention. To soothe the impressions of human suffering he turns to morphine.
