International Premiere
The Pier of Apolonovka is a place made fascinating by the encounter between parallel worlds. People such as handsome 14-year old Push who finds mopeds much cooler than girls, or shy 13-year-old Nastja, still mourning her lost first love, spend their summer together on the jetty. Even 80-year-old Galina still has a few tears to spare for her erstwhile lover, but not before she completes her morning swim. Then again there‘s the swimmer Sergej who despite his 85 years would never consider neglecting the ‚third point of health‘ – sex. Finally we meet Vova and Andrej working together illegally as divers.
