About This Movie

Tram Avenue presents a haunting exploration of motherhood amidst the backdrop of St. Petersburg's forgotten spaces. This documentary takes you deep into a shelter for underage mothers, where young girls, often from orphanages, confront the harsh realities of parenthood. The tone is raw, the pacing deliberate, allowing moments of silence to speak volumes. You feel the weight of their stories, the struggle of girls who barely remember their own mothers now tasked with nurturing their children. There's a certain intimacy in the way the camera captures their faces, the subtle nuances of their emotions, making it distinctive in its approach. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects of real lives unfolding are powerful and poignant.
