This is the directors first movie, despite some script problems, trying to fit 2 stories in one, i think it was a very good indie movie, great lighting, scenes, and great idea. The story is the slow deconstruction of a moving theater team, that is trying to be part of a big play, but fails in the end, because the team members cant cope with one another.. Their play is about creating this 'New World' in the deserted city of Russia, where buildings are almost destroyed and abandoned. So there is a mix between the play in the movie and the movie itself!

There is also the love story between one of the theater members Alina, and an outcast, a normal everyday person, who invades their world because of his love for her. Later on, his goal also becomes to help build again the 'new world' from the huge abandoned buildings he sees.

Russian cinema is distinguished by its epic scale, philosophical depth, and innovative visual language. It often explores history, ideology, and the human psyche, with a tradition of psychological realism and artistic experimentation. Russian cinema contributed revolutionary theories of editing and later a spiritual approach to film language. It remains known for combining formal experimentation with profound explorations of endurance and belief.
