The colors, the quality of light, and the regimented tightness of the rooms and stairwells simultaneously convey a feeling of isolation and an impression that Davka, the film’s protagonist, is navigating something much bigger than himself.
The boy is Davka, whom we first meet as he walks home from school with Anuka, a girl who lives in the same apartment building. The two have the coltish rapport of kids who grew up together but now have an unacknowledged sexual tension buzzing between them. They goad each other with incursions into the risqué, but when they get home their conversation ends with nothing more than a giggle, and they part ways.
“This identity of the city is very important for me to reveal—not just to foreigners but to reveal to ourselves as well,” she said. “You know, it’s about trying to understand ourselves—who we are, and our history, and where we are, and how we come from one place to another. And I think it’s important that we see ourselves onscreen in a real way.”
