Grace

Directed by Ilya Povolotsky

With Maria Lukyanova, Gela Chitava, Eldar Safikanov, Kseniya Kutepova and Aleksandr Cherednik

In Russia, an introverted father and his teenage daughter live on the road in a van that contains their entire life, including the equipment for a travelling cinema: the source of their meager income. Povolotsky builds on the undeniable art of the long take, on both the scale of the imposing landscapes and the tight interior of their cramped vehicle. The nameless father and daughter rove around the extremities of their vast country, from south to north. On its margins, the pulse of independent drifters who endure and resist.
