Preceded by the short film Solstice (3 min.)

Consisting entirely of footage from dashboard cameras in Russian cars, the wide range of cleverly edited episodes on the road constitutes a raw portrait of life in Russia. The footage was collected from various websites, including YouTube, and provides an objective viewpoint since a dash cam has no ability to influence its subject. The images are often bizarre, including a hellish forest fire, a military tank at a car wash, a hysterical wedding guest, and angry motorists brandishing weapons. Jaded commentary from the unseen Russian passengers instills a quintessential Russian attitude into the experience.
