A Person Grows Up Sleeping

2021 · 28 min · Romance, Drama

Schoolboy Misha skips school, practicing an old-fashioned dance in the woods. Several of his friends get caught in a time loop during after-school activities and dream about each other, dreams of the "big," adult world, trying on different roles. The youngest, Asya, is wary of this world everyone else is so eager to enter and doesn't yet know what she wants, but she enjoys observing and noticing. One day, she escapes from her "guardians," Timur and Vika, while walking through a shopping mall to find her way into the forest. There's no first love yet, only a hushed premonition.
