In an empty studio space, three female filmmakers re-enact the testimonies of the survivors of sexual violence in Russia, using stop-motion, performance and pseudo-documentary rehearsals. As their fragile and sometimes ambiguous creative process unfolds, the filmmakers become both subjects and guides, inviting viewers into a shared gesture of remembrance, grief and empathy.
