Booths
Hidden world of booths on the streets of a big city and portraits of the people who work inside those booths day after day. "When I was a child I used to walk around town, and I often noticed people sitting in booths. And I asked myself: Why are they sitting there? Maybe they are serving out some sort of punishment. What are they doing inside their booths? What are they thinking about? They're probably hot in there. Or maybe they're cold. Do they have home? A family? What kind of people are they?" - the film in ironical manner tries to answer these questions. It's a film about big city people living inside their booths...

Circus

In the lives of the children emerges Larisa, who is the stage director and the manager of a children's circus.

The Emperor Who Knew the Fate

The prediction spoken about two future wars. Emperor makes a decision 'to overcome the Fate': to organize a world conference on disarmament for prevention of wars (the Hague peace conference, May, 1899). Later he tried to overcome a Fate decisively in March, 1905 (an attempt to abdicate and to head the Russian Orthodox Church), and then again and again - but he could not. His attempts to overcome a Fate is the main essence and content of the film.

Bread For Bird
A young woman’s journey into the past begins in a grey city with a death-defying leap off a strange industrial building – it is hard to say whether the building is derelict or under construction. She continues her quest over fields and through thickets in a misty autumn landscape. She ends up in a house in a deserted village and finds an old woman waiting for her. The old woman’s tales focus on an individual’s destiny and suffering in the upheavals that shook Russia in the last century. The tales go back further into the past and culminate in a beautifully reconstructed ancient rite, the Bride’s Lament, a feature of rural Russian weddings.
