Dina (30 y.o. film director, lives in Russia) for the shooting of her own film about the collective memory of innocently tortured ancestors finds an experimental musician, German by blood but living in Belgium – this is 40 year-old Johan. Together they go on an expedition through modern Russia.
Dina has a talent for using visual tools. Her element is cinema. She needs another person. She is looking for someone whose element is music and sound.
For their expedition, she picks points on the map that evoke pain or excitement. These places are mass graves of the repressed, a flooded city, dolomite quarries, destroyed churches, impenetrable forests, market squares, city wastelands and village dump yards. At each place she wants to capture the special energy of change.
