This is a road movie encapsulated in the Moscow metro system and filmed over the course of one year: a documentary film that observes cultural and social issues in modern Russia. It is a study with elements of absurdist tragicomedy, with no central characters; instead, it is a wide-angle portrait of society with all the joys and challenges that it entails.
Born in Belarus, he began his career as a cinematographer. He graduated from the Academy of Arts and moved to Moscow, where he took a degree at the Moscow School of New Cinema in 2015.
