The Road Movie

Anything can unfold on Russian roads, and the dashboard camera records it with relentless clarity. This unflinching footage evolves into a defining portrait of the Russian national character — eternally awaiting a miracle, yet accustomed to navigating the dramas of everyday life. A forest burning stands as a symbol of Russian hell, a military tank at a car wash, and a car chase near the Kremlin — all captured by a dashboard cam at the same moment Boris Nemtsov, the leader of political opposition, was shot dead near the Kremlin. The dashboard camera presents life in its purity, as an unbiased observer.
