Ilya, a blind pensioner, plans to run a marathon in the average time for sighted athletes — four and a half hours. Dima's young coach helps him approach the matter correctly: maintain the pace, calculate the load, and hold out until the finish line. In the 15 minutes that the film lasts, we will see the entire range of emotions between them, from irritation to sincere support, and also learn a lot about Ilya: what he strives for when he stopped seeing what he considers important in life and what is nonsense. The director shoots the characters on grainy black-and-white film, interspersing jogging and conversations with surreal, fantasy portrait shots, separates the dialogue from the picture and stitches the film with a pulsating soundtrack, reassembles the material as a collage, creating an unusual and surprisingly integral aesthetic.

From Slaves to Bond: The Rise, Fall, and Legacy of the British Empire

Although the British Empire collapsed in the mid-20th century, many still believe that British imperialism is alive and well. Around fifteen countries — including Canada and Australia — continue to recognize the British monarch as their nominal head of state. In recent years, as relations between Russia and the West have sharply deteriorated, Britain has been portrayed as Russia’s principal arch-enemy, with imperialist thinking often cited as the root cause. In our new in-depth episode, we explore the history of the British Empire and ask whether it truly belongs to the past. We travel to London, to India — once the “jewel in the crown” — and to other countries that still have unresolved questions for the Empire and are demanding the repayment of historical debts.

The whole film has three, (but in reality, two main) characters. Most of the action takes place in a country house, home to the pair. She - a Japanese translator, he - a man without a definite occupation, lover of the texts of Nietzsche (which he reads fluently in its original language) and St. Augustine (who is quoted in Latin). They are Moscow intelligentsia who have emigrating to their own cultural space. A couple so different that it is difficult to understand what keeps them together. It seems they live together, not because of, but rather in spite of everything that is happening (or rather, not happening) between them.
