We are all dependent on something. Addiction to communication and loneliness, sex and abstinence, food and sports, drugs and religion. But sometimes we are afraid to admit to ourselves and others in our phobias, fears and complexes. It is necessary to confess, because this is the only way to get rid of addiction. This strange year bared our fears, made us more vulnerable, we had a lot of time for ourselves, we became more honest. Let's try to talk about why and what we depend on. And how can we help each other become stronger and cope with everything. Addiction is not licentiousness, not permissiveness, but a disease of loneliness, which is almost impossible to overcome alone with yourself.

The film, collected from various views and shrunken feelings, is our common space for collectivity and queer kinship. We are all there, scrambling out of the cinema form and once again slipping away to there. The collage method of gluing us together: a mutating, holding, non-solidifying form of people. We refuse to panic. It is difficult for us to maintain a critical distance from the intimate, extracted, and repackaged in relation to other material. Film as a message, film as a community, film as a form of interaction at a distance. We are led by Zhuzha, devices, and touch, which we were so lacking in quarantine.
