A nostalgic look at the birth and death of arthouse film distribution in the early 2000s in Russia. The story of the Cinema Without Borders company and its two founders, Sam Klebanov and Anton Mazurov.

En plein cœur de Moscou, une fusillade entre policiers et gangsters tourne mal. Les images filmées par un reporter ne sont pas à l’honneur de la police. Pour redorer le blason de celle-ci, Katya, directrice des relations publiques des forces de police moscovites, et son équipe décident de manipuler les images pour donner l’illusion que cette opération est une victoire. Pendant ce temps, les malfaiteurs, qui se sont repliés dans un immeuble, ont pris en otages un homme et ses deux enfants. Herman, leur chef, qui a découvert à la télévision l’opération de manipulation de la police, décide de riposter selon les mêmes méthodes, via Internet, en utilisant l’ordinateur d’un des enfants.

Eccentric post-apocalyptic take on gangster cinema.

In an ordinary industrial Soviet town, notable only for presence of a radio-telescope, people start behaving strangely, in a robotic manner, while assuming geometry-inspired aliases and organizing into a new hierarchy. The phenomenon spreads via a device of alien origin, called “the mediator”, capable of implanting extraterrestrial minds into human bodies. The aliens are bound by limitations of the terrestrial technology, having to use the means at the disposal of humans to prepare the grounds for the full-scale invasion. With “the mediator" being unable to subdue minds of children, lunatics, geniuses, and rebels, a struggle over the fate of the town and the human civilization ensues.
