Something Better to Come offers a raw glimpse into a world most of us can't imagine. Set in the Svalka junkyard near Moscow, it’s not just about the heaps of trash, but the lives woven into them. You meet Yula, a girl growing up amidst this chaos, and her story unfolds with a kind of gritty realism that’s hard to shake off. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, shifting between moments of harsh reality and fleeting childhood innocence. The visuals are striking—those towering piles of refuse juxtaposed against fleeting moments of joy and friendship. It’s a documentary that explores survival, resilience, and the stark contrast of wealth and poverty, and it does so with a haunting beauty that lingers long after the credits roll.
