The hero of this story is an ordinary person. But if you watch a person long enough, he stops being simple, ordinary. For several years, the director has been filming out of his apartment’s window – filming a neighbor and his beloved old car, a comrade-in-arms, to which he is endlessly devoted. And in the end, unexpectedly, a movie turned out to be not about a specific person, but about life in general.

AWARDS
