The sea, the cliffs, the boats. A couple of Russian friends come to visit the filmmaker in exile in France. Glimpsed in the distance or invading the screen – the shimmer of the waves is everywhere.

After the ecological disaster, almost no unpolluted water remained on the earth. A young scientist spends his days searching for a solution to a problem and trying to survive. His only comrade only complicates the situation.

A monumental yet fragile cinematic memoir, woven from living voices, picnics, illnesses, and foreign destinies, in a desperate attempt to capture the invisible tectonic shifts of passing time

“A bamboo mirage. Butterfly quivers to light. The city — a desert.”

The story of a man who missed his flight, and the next one also fell overnight and that he would not fall asleep, peers with all his might into the reality surrounding him.
