When Vadim Kostrov accompanied young couple Katya and Kostya to a nearby lake, and filmed them with the directness for which he is known, he couldn’t foresee the political implications of these images. At the time Kostya was about to join the Russian military – a decision he came to regret later on.

About the director
Vadim Kostrov
Vadim Kostrov is a Russian filmmaker based in Paris. In 2017 he began studying at the Russian State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK), but dropped out in 2018. He then shot his first feature-length documentary film Cherdak-Underground on VHS, telling the story of the Russian underground of the 1980s and 1990s. Returning regularly to the Urals, Vadim created Summer (2020), Winter (2021), Fall (2022), as well as the documentary trilogy Narodnaya (2019), After Narodnaya (2020), and Comet (2020). Summer received a special jury mention at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2021, while his earlier work Orpheus (2019) was presented in the competition at FIDMarseille. In March 2022, a retrospective of his work took place at FICUNAM in Mexico City.
