Natalia Meschaninova : 2014
Kombinat Nadezhda
Due to its vast industrial areas and enormous industrial output, the city of Norilsk has become one of the most polluted places in the world. However, despite the persistent ecological crisis, the severe northern climate and harsh living conditions, life goes on there in its own extreme, as well as routine, way. But the will to live that such an existence fosters is actually the will, or rather the dream, to escape, especially for a young generation. The desperate, hardly possible dream that moves and traps its adherents, turning against them. A dramatic coming-of-age story about two girls – two rivals who pursue the same goal of leaving their homeland but who take different steps to reach it, testing the blurring boundaries of morality and transgression. Natalia Meschaninova's first feature, a docu-style, emotionally-driven drama, premiered in competition at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014.
