What Is It to Breathe? 2021 (6)

Usually people don't think about how they breathe. But try to hold your breath for five seconds. Ten. Fifteen. Is it hard? And how do those who have to fight for every breath live? The film tells about the life of people with the most common rare genetic disease of cystic fibrosis. About 3,500 people with this diagnosis live in Russia. Only a quarter of them will live to be 18 years old.

Hey, Bro! 2018

Mark is 18, and his buddy Kirill is 20. They’ve been friends for just a month but they’re obviously meant for each other. They both crave attention and have a provocative attitude to the world around them. They dance together on the railings of Moscow’s Krymsky Bridge, gatecrash parties, hang out on their skateboards, challenge authority figures and mouth off to everyone who crosses their path. “I’m young, I can do what I want,” Kirill tells us.

Courier 2020

Muhammad, a courier of the Yandex.Food service, delivers food on a bicycle in Moscow, which is empty because of the coronavirus. 10 hours a day, six days a week, if there are orders - and it's not easy with them during quarantine. When there are few orders and there are a lot of couriers, you need to move so that the application distributing the work "notices" the courier. Therefore, even without orders, Muhammad travels around the city. At home, in the city of Bukhara, Muhammad has a family, parents and three sisters, he graduated from college with a degree in plumbing, but it's easier to earn in Moscow, and he sends money to his family every month: in Uzbekistan, a person can live for a month for a thousand Russian rubles, including "meat, potatoes, carrots, onions."
