Dreams of the Past

The film takes place at the end of the summer of 1917, when Russia and the whole world were at a crossroads between two eras.

In a strange way, the atmosphere of the film echoes our current reality and what is happening in Russia today.

To give greater authenticity to what is happening on the screen, the shooting was carried out on black-and-white negatives of 16 and 35 mm, hand-operated cameras were used and the material was developed in manual spiral tanks. The documentary chronicle of the Kolchak army of 1919 and the White army in the Far East of 1922 is embedded in the finale of the film.
