Detours

Poetic documentary describes – in an apparently unbiased way – new means of dealing with illegal drugs in the Moscow urban jungle. The film plays out in sleepy neighbourhoods between concrete skyscrapers walls, behind broken garages and/or on abandoned rails and in turns follows and loses the movements of Denis, a courier, who is hiding drug packages all around the city. Critique of Russia’s autocratic regime is subtly weaved into the film form and also in the revolt of young people enjoying the nightlife.
