A man looks for his friend, but finds himself instead...
A musical film featuring Sergei Letov's band "Tri O".
"Cinema Verite" with existential metaphorism. 16mm.
The film is an experimental independent film exploring Soviet reality.
Since part of the filming was carried out on the 9th floor, from the window of the Biryulevskaya high-rise building, as if from the point of view of an angel, only not flying, but sitting in a high tower.
The brothers Aleinikov lay out turgid governmental speeches about "the rearing of a new man" under footage of dudes goofing around in space-alien costumes. They roll footage of apple-cheeked future Stakhanovites upside down and backwards. They crudely animate - in a certain South Parkian way - CCCP (USSR) icons in a goofy manner.
An artist is searching for a subject in the open air. Suddenly, a man emerges from a chimney. They become acquainted. The artist invites his new acquaintance to his studio and shows him his work. Suddenly, in a parallel reality, they find themselves members of a radical cell in Germany, where the future of that country is being foretold. The vision disappears. And the artist paints a portrait of his new acquaintance. It is 1982. A portrait of Leonid Ilyich is visible in Red Square. War is raging in the Falkland Islands.
Found footage and found sound. Badly solarized training films, documentary fragments, speeches of USSR party leaders and rock 'n' roll form a horrifying picture of media pressure.
The waste of the toy factory "Ogonyok", clumps of multicolored thermally deformed plastic, turn into a new biological species, then into a new direction of modern art, then into an isolated language of a native tribe discovered by linguists in the jungle, where words must be carried silently with you and shown if necessary, then into heroes of crazy phantasmagoric news.
