This is a film
about post-Soviet Russia seen through the eyes of the
filmmaker, as she returns to her home town (Vladivostok,
Russian Far East) after a decade of absence with the
intention of resettling there. Unusual places, unusual
characters, unusual ways-about, unusual mentality becomes a
colorful and contrasting carousel of her welcome-home. And
she comes to the realization that there is no place for her
in this drastically changed country. She decides to sell her
apartment and come back to New York. The symbolic butterfly
of fulfillment and happiness she was trying to find there
lives neither in Russia or New York, but within.
