Drama - Completed 2010
Inspired by Winterreise, Schubert tragic vocal cycle, the film tells the story of Eric, a 21-year-old talented singer student at the Moscow Conservatory. He is lonely, fragile and vulnerable. He reminds us of romantics of the past like Artur Rembo, Kurt Cobain, Michael Fassbinder.
The story unfolds over 3 days before an important vocal competition. During a bus ride Eric meets Lyokha, a 23-year-old provincial guy who attracts Eric’s attention by his eccentric, aggressive and valiant behavior, caused, as Eric finds out later, by his desperation due to his fatal sickness.
Two opposites collide and are attracted to each other. Lyokha gets himself into real trouble with police and criminals. He turns to his new friend for help. Eric, overwhelmed by sudden unknown emotions and feelings cannot refuse. This relationship leads Eric to his last winter journey.
