Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Myshkina shot entirely guerrilla on Moscow's brutalist outskirts over two freezing nights with a skeleton crew of three.
The film's 'forest' metaphor directly echoes Soviet-era 'microdistrict' housing—mass concrete blocks designed for community that often produced profound isolation. Myshkina grew up in one.
