Mariya Ignatenko

The naïve Maris joins the Wehrmacht during the Nazi occupation of the Baltic states, together with his brother and several others from the village. The barracks are in a monastery, and Maris – whom everyone views as a fool – seems to consider his fate a religious calling. Until his eyes are opened by the soldiers’ misbehaviour, and he takes it upon himself to save a young woman.

Victor was having a wash in his cabin when the boatswain called him to the phone. Although Victor had already heard: “Nika died”, he shouts all the same: “I can’t hear!”. Victor goes onto the mainland. After two days without sleep he reaches the hospital. When the doctor has finished speaking, Victor indifferently turns away to the window. All the details of this view from the window suddenly feel closer to him. Victor goes outside. The street is fast asleep. The entire town is asleep, as if extinct. But everything is breathing, snoring, muttering in a dream. This sleeping town is like a nightmare. In this nightmare those helplessly asleep are intertwined with the memories of his love. Victor wanders around the town in search of a person who is also, like him, on this side of reality. And he finds him.

Eternal twilight, passing trains, a man's hunched figure walking in the fog, a smiling girl, shadows and silence that are related to each other… Under the infernal sounds-noisy, creaking, howling-there are words that " rub against each other, giving rise to something shaky, almost nonexistent." In the center of the metropolis, people with the" Cain seal " look for the forest and the sea to get lost,and there they stay. And death looks for people to look at, and finds them there… In the film by Valentina Antonova and Dmitry Mamulia, the 82-year-old founder of Russian "metaphysical realism" Yuri Mamleev plays himself shortly before his own death and as if before our eyes is preparing to move to another world.
