About This Movie

Spring (2021) offers a raw glimpse into the life of Ksenia, a secretary caught in a mundane job at a criminal court. The film captures her inner turmoil—her dreams of escape are constantly overshadowed by the weight of familial obligations, especially as her grandmother delves deeper into a realm of dreams and visions. The pacing feels languid, almost reflective, mirroring Ksenia’s own stagnation. It's not flashy, with practical effects taking a back seat to the emotional landscape presented. There’s a haunting atmosphere, woven with threads of depression and unfulfilled desires that linger long after viewing. Ksenia's performance is understated yet impactful, drawing you into her world of quiet desperation and fleeting hope.
