DAU. Sasha Valera

Overview

Sasha, a young janitor, notices a certain softness and kindness in an older janitor. In a small, secluded room, away from their colleagues, the two men waver between resisting and giving in to their feelings and desires, walking a tightrope between violent tendencies and a need for tenderness.

Directed by Ilya Khrzhanovsky, Jekaterina Oertel
