A sprawling meditation on the choreography of bodies in Moscow's urban landscape, Detours depicts a new way of dealing illicit drugs via the Darknet, the layering of the physical and the virtual realities, as well as a poetics, and politics, of space. Taking place in sleepy neighbourhoods, among the concrete walls of high-rises, behind garages and amidst abandoned railroads, the film alternately follows and loses track of Denis, the treasureman who hides stashes of drugs all over the city.
A young guy from the Moscow suburbs can't handle his own life: a huge gap between him and his mother, agressive relations with his stepfather, street fights and serious health issues. But the biggest surprise will appear to be himself.
