Bed of Honour

Having got through a rape, a convent novice tries to find God again.

Four friends convene at a café and engage in a peculiar game entitled "Empty Space". Thereafter, their paths diverge for a prolonged period. Each endeavours to find self-realisation through various forms of creative activity, seeking to impose their minor and superfluous art upon a vast and indifferent world.

"Closing" is a film almanac made up of nine verses. Instead of a rap beat, there is beer, rain, a beach, a zoo, random conversations, and a city that lives its own life. These are not stories with a beginning and an end, but statements written into the rhythm of the festival, where cinema becomes a way to be together and a way to be alone. Any almanac is a film cypher: everyone goes to the microphone, says their piece, and leaves, leaving room for someone else. "Closing" is exactly that: a collection of voices in which you can hear laughter, fatigue, love, and meaninglessness. This is a film about how cinema closes the day and opens the night.

Materialized censorship penetrates reality, encroaching on man and nature. Experimental study of the limits of prohibition.

Vasya (Nikita Kildishev) he struggles, loitering from one theater door to another. My mother, actress Irina, is annoyed; she is all in rehearsals – she listens to a young director who is talking about cosmic latitude and a fabulous basis. He promises that tomorrow he will definitely go to the cinema with his son – and, apparently, this is not the first such "breakfast".

Varya is looking for a way to wake up her mother, because she is bored alone at the country house. The girl’s only companion is the voice assistant Alice.

Polina enjoys shooting videos with her phone. With a camera in hand she has the feeling that she is the sole master of reality. But today things are different. A crazy night gets the better of Polina, sweeping her away into the world of associations and images. Townsfolk turn into mythical characters, frightening and alluring at the same time.
