National Museum

A "direct cinema" documentary that explores the art and inner workings of the major art institution in Kyiv, Ukraine. Two special exhibitions - one dedicated to the Ukrainian baroque and another one to a prominent avant-garde artist - are the two defining events in the film's narrative.

Michail and Daniel

Michail is an artist. He is working on a series of paintings called "Franz Kafka's Diary". His son Daniel is thirty-four, and yet his life is hardly separable from the life of his father. He is deaf and mute, and suffers from a severe form of cerebral palsy. Michail is determined and energetic, Daniel - persistent and charismatic. And they are a striking couple. The film offers a detailed observation of two interconnected characters.
