Time out

Marina Krapivina 18+

“Lyudochka” – that’s how seniors who she’s caring about call her. “An unremarkable woman” – says her college student daughter. Lyuda is about 40, she’s a social worker and a single mother. Day in, day out she delivers heavy grocery bags to the retirees, in the evenings she chats in “Odnoklassniki”. She desperately wants to have her life to be happy, while it feels more like an endless time out with no way out.

The director Pyotr Shereshevskiy transformed an ordinary story into the hypnotic “movie” about each of us. The scene becomes both supermarket and labyrinth, and the audience can see the close-up shots online on the big screen. Which is why every gesture and expressions can be caught helping understand characters’ mood as well as their hidden thoughts.

“Time out” is like a rabbit hole, a dream, a myth, a fantasy about a little man in the face of fate.
