gentle conductor
Com a cidade sofrendo de uma epidemia de gripe, Petrov e sua família lutam por mais um dia em um país onde o passado nunca é passado e o presente é um sonho impetuoso de violência e ternura movido a álcool. Gripado e febril, Petrov é arrastado por seu amigo Igor em uma longa caminhada, em que realidade e fantasia se misturam, nessa narrativa delirante e lacônica pela Rússia pós-soviética. Baseado no romance Petrovs in and Around the Flu, de Alexey Salnikov.
What happened to Ophelia two minutes before death? What did Lady Macbeth do in prison? What if Romeo had a girlfriend before Juliet? What if the heroes of various plays know each other?

A film about how we imagine and portray death. Our heroes are the most diverse people who have been asked to go through all the stages of death, from dying to existence “on the other side.” This study of fear and laughter - the two main reactions of man to the approach of death. Death as a collective (what will happen to everyone) and individual (what will happen to you). What is special about the attitude to death in Russia? Do we know enough about this most important event in life - death? The film creates a kind of catalog, a "herbarium" of human reactions, fears and hopes that there is life after death.
