Meanwhile, in Moscow, foreign journalist William Smith is looking for him for an interview.

Mood and atmosphere

Set against the backdrop of a tense yet vibrant 1980s Soviet Union, this film evokes a deep sense of nostalgia and melancholy. The cozy, rustic atmosphere of Protasovo invites viewers to reflect on themes of loneliness and hope, as the protagonist navigates a world of repression and artistic dreams. The beautiful cinematography captures the contrast between the serene village life and the impending chaos of the Olympics, creating a poignant exploration of identity and freedom. With warm colors and a haunting soundtrack, the film resonates with those seeking a slow-paced, introspective journey filled with emotional depth and the bittersweet essence of longing for connection amidst isolation.
