ROAD ACCIDENT

Anna Dezhurko
Russia, 2018, 13 Min

Inattentiveness at the wheel forces a young woman to deal with the interaction between her privileges and the discrimination of others. A bitter drama about racism, corruption and civil courage.

Anna Dezhurko

Just a quick glance at her mobile phone and Olga has gone and hit the car of the fruit dealer Mansurdzhon and injured him. Mansurdzhon is able to calm her down and sends her back on her way with a smile and an apple. When a patrol car shows up, Olga has the chance to answer for her actions, but the fronts are immediately clear as far as the officials are concerned.

Instead of asking naive moral questions about Olga's decision, the film confronts its viewers with facts and shows how manipulation and intimidation can easily corner even people with the best of intentions. DJ
