Promoting Success

Three Tajik brothers, Ali, and Kamil Fedor, settled 150 km from Moscow in a makeshift hut, hidden behind a fence. Their life is hard, they speak Russian poorly and live away from their families. Their job is to cut and transport the wood from the forest next door. Every day life is punctuated by the hard work, the daily tasks, card games, drinking and bickering with the Russians in the neighboring village. The film speaks of economic exile, bitter life out of another time, double family for some, and the feeling of not quite here nor longer quite out there…

Sasha, Ira, Nina and Lyosha are orphans who graduated from an orphanage. They got apartments, but they are absolutely not adapted to independent life, although some of them already have children. What does love and responsibility mean for people who have never been taught this, and family for someone who did not have it?
