A moth on a bomb

a short dance film duration 35 minutes direction, cinematography and edit Oleg Offstep Stepanov music and sound Oleg Offstep Stepanov with Emily Castelli Christopher Tandy Gerard Bell Ekaterina Shushakova Dean Biosca Over time, any system finds its balance and peace, everything around strives for it, and so do the heroes of this film. However, what at first glance seems calm and in balance, in fact, is constantly in an ongoing struggle for it. 5 heroes whose stories intertwine in unexpected ways in the most ordinary hotel room. The impersonal space suddenly becomes the safest place, and what was previously difficult to face finally seeps through the cracks. The artist, together with the actors, creates spaces in which we are either as close as possible and feel how a barely perceptible breath seeps through the silence, then suddenly we seem to endlessly fall down in the impossibility of grasping at least something stable and safe. The true manifests itself somewhere between words, beyond images, it increasingly pulses with the irreversibility of the encounter with inevitable.
