synopsis

This intimate portrait of the Russian composer Oleg Nikolaevitch Karavaychuk came to life through observations of the artist’s creative routine. The striking visual aspects of the documentary draw from the potential of Karavaychuk’s personality, which, within the Russian context, is just as disquieting as Oleg’s music is to its listeners.
