Imagine that several cameras have moved from the outskirts to the center, capturing the most interesting and informative moments of city life in different parts of the city along the way. The characters of the film are its viewers: natives of Kyiv, provincials who have come to seek their fortune, capitalist tourists — in short, those who make life in the city so vibrant. Every day we find ourselves in a variety of situations and solve a multitude of issues, from renting an apartment in the center to finding a notary in Novobelychi — urban trends, tastes, prices, priorities, routes, the labor and real estate markets, the past, present, and future.

My Joy

Georgy is driving a load of freight into Russia when, after an unpleasant encounter with the police at a border crossing, he finds himself giving a lift to a strange old man with disturbing stories about his younger days in the Army. After next picking up a young woman who works as a prostitute and is wary of the territory, Georgy finds himself lost, and despite asking some homeless men for help, he’s less sure than he was before of how to make his way back where he belongs. As brutal images of violence and alienation cross the screen, Georgy’s odyssey becomes darker and more desperate until it reaches an unexpected conclusion.
