Silent Sun of Russia

Synopsis

Silent Sun of Russia portrays a generation of young Russians in the period 2018 to 2022. The film follows three young women, Alika, Alyona and Katya. They are rebels and anarchists and part of a global youth who dream of living a modern life in freedom. A pervasive sense of unease and uncertainty about the future permeates the young women's lives, and after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they find themselves in a new reality that requires difficult choices. In the search for love, friendship and the dream of escaping from Putin's Russia, they live in uncertainty, and longing is replaced by difficult feelings and attempts to suppress reality.
