A new short film

A story about a couple whose problems start when she takes a job as a teacher in order to financially support his education.

To live is to dream and to fight to communicate and ward off loneliness. In this sexually-charged experimental, two men find each other in a time of need.

Four love stories connected by newsreels of the late 60s. Each short story begins with an epigraph taken from the Song of Songs of the Old Testament. The stories are interconnected by documentary shots and numerous interviews taken on the streets from passers-by who are asked the same question: “what does it mean to love?”.

The script about loneliness, conformity and the impossibility of creative realization scared the editorial censorship at the studio, and then at Derzhkino. A lot of claims were made against him. The demands for amendments and endless additions and rewrites by the authors lasted for about a year. The original version of the title "Na pokhony!" ("To bow down!") was replaced by "To Dream and to Live". According to Pylyp Ilyenko, the director's eldest son, this name appeared "as a result of censor pressure." Censorship stopped the tape 40 times: at the stage of the literary script, director's, during film tests (the actors were not approved), filming, etc. The film catastrophically fell apart into fragments, into masterfully filmed, but unrelated scenes. The director called the finished version a "dead film".

This is a story about natural coincidence, the battle against time and overcoming the self for the sake of common good. In this black comedy everyone will recognise themselves.

《勇敢生活》（Dare To Live）体现了这种冒险精神。在节目中，罗里·克莱默（Rory Kramer）带着他的艺术家朋友（贾斯汀·比伯（Justin Bieber）、史蒂夫·青木（Steve Aoki）、伊基·阿塞莉娅（Iggy Azalea）、烟鬼组合（The Chainsmokers）等）走出舒适区，开启环球之旅。
