A security guard watches metal rust and dreams rust faster. Russian deadpan at its finest.
A story of a young girl Claudia who works as a security guard on a slowly dying metal plant.
Acting
Korovina's deadpan carries 116 minutes of industrial melancholy.
Production
The dying plant feels like a character slowly exhaling its last breath.
Director
Aleksandr Proshkin
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Proshkin filmed at an actual decommissioned Ural plant, hiring former workers as extras who essentially played themselves.
The comedy lands precisely because Korovina never winks—her performance channels Soviet-era 'quiet heroism' into something quietly feminist.
