GARAGE PEOPLE

Filmmaker Natalija Yefimkina’s directorial debut is dedicated to the Russian man’s refuge, the garage, in the in­hospitable area of Northern Russia on the Kola Peninsula.

With humorous, unpredictable and bizarre scenes, GARAGE PEOPLE tells the story of Russian men and the celebration of their private independence as they embellish their garages at their own discretion into parallel worlds. We hear tales – both tragic and lighthearted – that allow us to gaze into the deep souls of Russian men who scarcely speak for themselves – or with each other, sharing their concerns, fears and joys. In this way, we gain an insight into an everyday reality that takes place in secret.
