Silent Sun of Russia portrays a generation of young Russians in the period 2018 to 2022. The film follows three young women, Alika, Alyona and Katya. They are rebels and anarchists and part of a global youth who dream of living a modern life in freedom. A pervasive sense of unease and uncertainty about the future permeates the young women's lives, and after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they find themselves in a new reality that requires difficult choices. In the search for love, friendship and the dream of escaping from Putin's Russia, they live in uncertainty, and longing is replaced by difficult feelings and attempts to suppress reality.
Director
Sybilla Tuxen (1990) graduated as a photographer from Fatamorgana – Denmark’s photographic school of visual arts, in 2011 and as a documentary filmmaker from The Danish Film School in 2017. She works with polyphonic narratives. Her visual works explore the emotional currents of poetry with a unique eye for human destinies and the worlds of our mythological and literary subconscious.
