- Synopsis
- Russia, home of world-famous thinkers, poets and artists. Russia, battlefield of war,
  dictatorship and revolutions. 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the great
  revolution but what is going on in Russia today?
  Acclaimed filmmaker, Katja Fedulova (Berlinale talent 2014), left Russia when she
  was 18, over 20 years ago. But the homeland for which her grandmother died as a
  war heroine continues to haunt her. She returns home with one a big question: Are
  there still heroines in Putin’s Russia?
  She finds three young, beautiful women, each fighting for their own vision of what
  their country should be.. Their struggle offers a complex picture of modern Russia -
  full of dramatic, desperate, absurd, and funny moments. With every unexpected
  revelation, the façade crumbles to show the corruption and fragility of a country still
  struggling with the aftermath of perestroika. Sometimes heartbreaking and always full
  of open ambivalence, this film is a beguiling, dizzying glimpse at modern Russia.
