The documentary project The Term was conceived in May 2012. When the directing trio commenced mapping the Russian sociopolitical landscape, Vladimir Putin had just settled into the Kremlin for his third term. The original experimental format of “documentary bulletins,” which were published daily online, allowed for wide-ranging content; in the feature film version, however, the filmmakers focused solely on the members of various opposition groups. Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information.
Until her unexpected death, grandma Ada was the head of the entire family. But even after death, the business-like old woman does not leave her relatives to their fate. Ada's Ghost appears on the doorstep and informs that the family may lose their apartment in the near future. Discouraged descendants under the guidance of a Ghost grandmother must pay off their debts, win back their rightful inheritance, and at the same time learn to live independently. Otherwise, the spirit of my grandmother Ada never rest in peace.
