Synopse
Documentary with animation “The Blue Sweater with a Yellow Hole" is a coming-of-age story about children who went through a detention in Russian re-education camps and, after being rescued, are trying to make sense of what has happened.
What seems at first like cheerful summer activities and a thrilling time without parents shifts to evoking memories of propaganda events, punishments, isolation, stays in psychiatric clinics, and military training. Collaborating with filmmakers to draw their memories, the children use art to unfold their memories and to heal.
As the story unfolds, the director confronts her own memories of similar indoctrination during her childhood in Soviet schools and camps, adding a deeply personal touch and tension to the narrative.
The animated scenes immerse the viewer into the shifting identity experiences exploring the theme of belonging and reflecting the role of misinformation in society through time.
