Description
A montage film exploring Soviet holiday rituals, crafted from rediscovered family footage. Scenes of everyday life, captured on aging 8mm film, flicker, crack, and disintegrate before our eyes. The film’s soundscape blends radio noise, voices, and industrial sounds from homemade synthesizers.
