On 30 July 2018, Russian documentary filmmaker Alexander Rastorhuev, an award-winning filmmaker known for introducing innovative documentary practices inspired by digital technologies, experimental formats, and online communication, was killed in the Central African Republic. Using direct speech, excerpts from his famous and neglected works, and footage of the director at work, Evgenia Ostanina has managed to put together an evocative portrait of a man who left an indelible mark not only on Russian cinema, but also to open up the themes that were key for Rastorhuev - the meaning of art, the homeland, suffering, and, above all, truth.
