Lera

Twenty-year-old Lera Meshcherikova has a difficult relationship with her mother. Father, grandmother and aunt Olga love Lera, but because of their indecision and lack of will, the girl has to defend her choice on her own. Tatiana cannot accept that her daughter is marrying a guy from a poor family, Denis, and in her heart tells Lera that she is the adopted daughter of the Meshcherikovs. Lera goes to live with Denis, and gradually her life gets better.: she puts up with her father, who gets Denis a job, the guy happily accepts the news that he will soon have a child, and Tatiana has to come to terms with her daughter's marriage. But Leroux is gnawing at the thought that she must find her own mother — only then will she be able to sort herself out. If the girl had known that she would have to pay very dearly for this...

The Railway

Mischa, a mute boy, sets out on a surrealistic journey together with his father and two men. Their means of transportation is an old Soviet locomotive, loaded with stolen coal. The travellers intend to sell off the loot on their way through the borderless steppes of inner Russia. As a parallel to the main plot, sequences of a mysterious travelling circus keep reappearing in a very suggestive way. Many of the odd artists at the circus are people that the four protagonists encounter in the wilderness along the overgrown railway. All through the movie there is a sensation of magic crossed with pure realism, stressed by the crackling communistic infrastructure and a twisted sense of humor. The border between reality and fantasy is very subtle here. The Railway is a story about strong family ties, but also an ambitious interpretation of the clash between the Russia of old and new. One could call it the rebirth of a long forgotten genre: the Russian wonder story.

#IAmHere

Natasha, 36, awaits a court verdict that is to decide whether for the next eight years she is to stay under police observation. Persons like her are called repeat offenders: She committed a new crime, even though she had been released on parole. “Lost trust” — this legal formula has become the real punishment for the main character. These six months is the main penitentiary term of her lifetime, the last chance to feel life in all its versatility, and she makes a list of all things she needs to cram into that short timespan: a rock concert, a ballet, a soccer championship, going to the seaside, meeting up friends, and, most importantly, meeting her father to whom Natasha did not have the courage to tell the truth about her second imprisonment.
