The Shards

At the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Masha prepares for leaving the homeland, which has changed forever. A chain of unexpected farewells follows: her mom has cancer, her lover flees army conscription, everything including her own old self is falling apart. Her way to cope with the grief is to record everything with a camera. An anger guides her to inner migration to the local underground scene, which became an escape for young Russians. This kaleidoscope of shards chronicles the spirit of the time, as well as the director’s personality crumbling against the backdrop of global turmoil.
