In a suite of 15 scenes, most arriving in a single master shot, the Russian heroine renegotiates her pact with Russian capitalism, and the new bodies and relationships it made possible. Shot in Saint Petersberg during a sunny autumn, when our faces could still bear the old light.

Alena Koroleva is a multidisciplinary Russian artist and curator. Co-founder of Kinodot EFF, author of few short films and sound releases. Mike Hoolboom makes movies and writes.
