THE CITY WAS SLEEPING AND DREAMING OF US

Natalia Ashurovskaya | 01:20:00 | Russian Federation 

Among the splendid decay of Saint Petersburg, four unconventional souls – a provincial vagabond, an existential romantic, a drunken poet, and a man who was preparing his transformation into a pigeon – compose a unique symphony in the final days of their carefree summer. As they navigate the city’s mazes and abandoned buildings in search of love, shelter, and poetry, “City was sleeping and dreaming of us” becomes a poignant testimony to their fleeting existence. A collective dream emerges before dissipating into inevitable collective oblivion.
