How to Save a Dead Friend

Directing: Marusya Syroechkovskaya

Synopsis

In the uncertain reality of Putin's Russia, the state's interest in mental health is virtually non-existent. When Marusya meets Kimi, it seems that they might be able to help each other out of a confusing period of anxiety and loneliness. Kimi has been experimenting with drugs and alcohol to combat his deepening depression. Twelve years of home video footage captures the gradual disintegration of a young man's psyche, gaining an insight beneath the surface of their deeply emotional ties. The lyrics of the ever-present Joy Division songs fill this emotional confessional.
