Father and son Vít and Grisha travel to Russia before the end of summer vacation to visit the boy’s mother and sister. But what are they really searching for in this eastern part of Europe? And why did their previously harmonious family split in two? Eight years after his successful Solar Eclipse, which focuses on the ups and downs of two Czech development experts in Zambia, Martin Mareček returns with a small-scale documentary road movie. Here he investigates the distance between two Slavic countries, the difficulties of fatherhood and puberty, and the alienation between people who should, in theory, be the closest of all. Will the long journey from Brno to Diveyevo help them grow closer to each other? (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

An observational film that reveals a deep understanding of the characters (given by the fact that Martin Mareček has been working with Vítek Kalvoda for a really long time) and unusual ambitions to lyrically capture the escaping relationship between father and son traveling far away to overcome the feeling of mutual alienation. The strange circling and misunderstanding, passing each other and escaping between the fingers are among the best moments of the film, which sometimes struggles a bit with the thin edge of documentary and fiction, and thereby does not find such precise, concise language so that the storytelling is able flow smoothly and all of the details speak to the necessary depth. From this point of view, it loses a bit compared to Nothing Like Before, Into the Clouds We Gaze, or Solo. In any case, it is a perceptive and, at best, a funny, chilling work about insurmountable gaps in space, culture and human relationships.
