KATIA

Anna Shishova | India, Nepal, Russia 2014 | 49 Min. | OmeU

Katia is a poetic and intimate portray of a young russian woman on her way into a new and better life. She leaves Russia behind and travels alone to India with nothing but a small bag and a tragic story behind. But her past always follows her. Who knows whether she will be able to become free of it? In beautiful contrasting images India an Nepal serve as the mirror of her soul. In addition to the visual intensity the film captivates the audience with its proximity to the protagonist – a sense of intimacy that one cannot escape.
