Toska

Toska

“Toska,” an untranslatable Russian term, encapsulates a range of emotions, from boredom to homesickness. Explored through the candid revelations of forced emigrants who left their homeland, the short film delves into the aspects that evoke the strongest sense of toska. What do they long for the most? The film is entirely shot on a smartphone.

Directed by Sasha Maxyutova and Aleksei Solomin (Russia)
