An elderly alcoholic, Mihhail, who makes his living by collecting bottles. But one day he runs into environmental activists who are collecting all the bottles in the city, depriving Mihhail of his only way to earn a bottle of vodka.
As the cinematographer of this film, I was most interested in discovering new possibilities for creating a specific image that accurately describes the world and atmosphere that Mihhail himself sees and feels. Working with Canon XL-H1 made me achieve the desired look, but also, just discovering old technology gave me a better understanding of equipment and broadened my horizons overall.
