Konstantin goes for a walk in the forest with his acquaintance. He gradually plunges into his own world of fears and cruelty. A fatal event that happens late in the evening turns the hero's idea about himself upside down. The next day, Konstantin returns to his usual routine, as if the entire previous day and night had been erased from his memory.

Hope Road

"Hope Road" reflects the filmmaker’s artistic journey in a world shaken by crises and wars, as the mother of a small child whose existence seems to demand something dif- ferent from her than the production of art. While the ‘old world’ of the artist founders, she escapes from the dysto- pian scenarios of the present by taking up the child’s point of view.

A synthetic realm unfolds, meticulously engineered by global startups. Everything is bound together by a dark slime—an oily, recurrent presence that merges Jurassic-era flora with plastic plant decorations destined for shopping malls. Petroleum, in both refined and unrefined forms, opens up a portal to the gory logics of petro-capitalism and global extraction practices, revealing the flawed rationale behind techno-solutionist visions of the future.
