A girl wanders through a landscape of quiet ruin, alone except for her dog and a mysterious voice on her radio, reciting poems at a precise hour every day. A haunting memory of a nearby future. – Rupert Bottenberg

Cristina and Simon are two young graffiti artists who paint the city that they live in. Their restless spirit leads them to defy a criminal gang when they decide to paint the mural of a whale over a threat written in a wall. The love that unites them, their friendship with other artists at La selva- an old house they use as a refuge- and familiar tensions, come together to tell a story where the powerful strength of youth faces fear, violence and the difficulties of growing up.

A documentary grotesque in which even the walls speak. Famous directors of St. Petersburg cinema recall their lives and work, and images of old films come to life to remind the viewer of themselves.

Through filming my personal spaces and experiences of the world, I attempt to deal with a period of personal crisis. Although the images relate to personal circumstance indirectly, they are driven by an intense inward reflection, present in the image as an emotional energy. The act of filming reflects my experience of loss and at the same time is an attempt to ground the self in the world once more. The emblem of shadows recurs and points towards the heart of the film's journey - attempting to uncover one's inner darkness, in order to go forwards. The dark passages in the film are a result of dealing with a large amount of “fogged” camera material by bleaching and inverting it. The sequence order of both image and sound are composed entirely by chance.
