Storyline

Acid is a silent manifesto of the generation of twenty-year-old. They have been abandoned in a world adorned with concepts such as family, friendship, love, and opportunities. In search of answers to their questions, they devour themselves like a chemical substance that corrodes the world around, in order to eventually learn not to listen but to hear, not to look but to see. And to find their way. Written by Kinotavr Film Festival

Russia on Acid
8 September 2019 | by dottormalocchio – See all my reviews

This film is a Russian trip on Acid, in the literal and metaphorical sense but at the same time it's a crystal clear picture about the dysfunctional Russian society today.
