The Stroll
Today’s twenty-something Russians are the first generation in the country’s post-communist history to have grown up free. Their twenties are the age of freedom, of fast-changing events and intense emotions. Perhaps only at this age they can live a whole life in one day. A young girl and her two accident companions walk halfway around St.-Petersburg; they flirt and tease each other, and for ninety minutes they act out a real-time romantic drama. This stroll is full of laughter and tears against a backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the streets.
A spontaneous, real-time journey through youth's fleeting intensity. It captures the bittersweet ache of young love and self-discovery amidst the vibrant chaos of a city, feeling both deeply personal and universally resonant.
