1992, the time of the Perestroika. Inspired by Vsevolod Pudovkin’s “The End of St. Petersburg” (1927), the artist chooses the Greek mythological figure of Icarus as a person falling apart from the diversity of temptations and creates a romantic performance-self-portrait.

This movie marks the understanding of cinema as an extra-human effort and finds cinema beyond the human, somewhere on the territory of its non-existence.

In old forgotten place an evil and insidious Koshchiy the Immortal lived. He lived his days among gray mists and vicious howls of unknown animals. There was no longer a magical cat who sang songs and recited poetry, a mermaid died, like many other fairytale characters. There was only him, a miserable old man.
