About the Film
A Short Film by Mikhail Rudenskii
In Yerevan, a Russian émigré girl with a fear of dogs and a man fleeing the war try to sell a T-shirt signed by a late rapper, but a nighttime encounter with stray dogs brings them closer than they expected.
"In cinema people can still believe that things will be all right, if only for a moment. I made this film to say that we are still here. Still capable of connection."
