MY JOY (SCHASTYE MOE)

GER/Ukraine/F/NL 2010, 127 Min.
Director: Sergej Loznitsa
Script: Sergej Loznitsa
DOP: Oleg Mutu

The story about a few days in the life of truck driver Georgi seems to be a never-ending nightmare, a spiral of violence and abuses of power. A man goes to work and on his way he is sucked into the everyday madness of his country, losing his health and memory in the process and ends up as a murderer, who calmly lies down to sleep after committing the crime. A dark parable about the situation in deep Russia today.
