    • Synopsis
    • After the death of Alexei Navalny, thousands in Russia laid flowers at the Wall of Sorrow as a gesture of remembrance and defiance. Among them was Alyona — her act drew widespread attention and led to arrest and persecution. The film follows her harrowing journey, revealing the personal cost of dissent in a society where opposition is punished. Amid the bloody war with Ukraine, the state turns its violence inward, cracking down on its own people. This is a story of courage, memory, and a system built on fear and repression.
