Contents Summary
Unemployment, drugs, violence, and love in a deserted Russian mining town. A film about the astonishing strength it takes to survive in the harshest conditions. A small mining town in central Russia. 15 years ago it offered a secure life and a place to work. The mine has closed, but the old residential blocks remain, still housing families of ex-miners, many of whom lost their jobs and direction in life. How do these families survive if there are no jobs for anybody over 35? The film focuses on the relationship between Sasha and Irina. After an unsuccessful attempt to find work in Moscow, 37-year-old Sasha returns home to his disabled wife and looks for a job, receiving continuous rejections on the grounds that he is “too old.” Irina’s brother, recently released from prison after serving a sentence for homicide, moves in with them. His desire to start a new life is challenged by prison traumas and addictions. A poignant portrait of a family striving for normality under unbearable conditions.
