About This Movie
A Russian Fairytale is a raw glimpse into the lives of street kids in a post-Soviet city, told through the eyes of Kolya, Irina, Ksusha, and Denis. The film's documentary style captures their candid thoughts and the haunting beauty of their abandoned home, which they refer to as their 'Fairytale place'. There’s something unsettling yet poignant about their camaraderie as they navigate survival through petty crime and resourcefulness. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, juxtaposing harsh realities with childlike wonder. It’s not overly polished but that’s what gives it an edge; the performances feel authentic, almost like watching a slice of life. It’s a unique take on childhood and resilience against a stark backdrop.
