Synopsis
During the day, Lera studies humankind and its needs through opinion polls, which are an educational practice at the institute; at night, she dances under the pseudonym Gerda in a club to support herself and her mother. The people she meets are as unfortunate as her family. Her father has recently left for another woman, but he constantly returns home, unable to make his choice and thereby making the life of close people intolerable. The mother painfully endures the breakup and constantly sleeps, ignoring reality. Lera doesn’t know how to carry on, where to go and what to live for, and — most importantly — how to improve life. The adult world, invariable unfortunate, which Lera observes day and night, seems hopeless.

Mood and atmosphere
Immerse yourself in a poignant exploration of urban loneliness and the struggle for identity in a world that often feels indifferent. 'Gerda' envelops you in a hazy, melancholic atmosphere, where the rhythm of the night dances alongside the ache of unfulfilled dreams. Set against a backdrop of dimly lit clubs and the flickering neon of the city, the film captures the essence of longing and the bittersweet nature of human connections. As Lera navigates her dual life, the narrative evokes feelings of nostalgia for lost childhood innocence, while also delving deep into themes of familial love and personal rebellion. The beautiful soundtrack mirrors the emotional turbulence, making it a perfect choice for those cozy, introspective evenings when you seek solace in artful storytelling and profound emotional resonance.
