"Spiridon is a black student of medicine of Brazilian origin who genuinely cares for Ukraine – the land that is a little strange and a little native for him. His surreal, burlesque story is a reflection of the absurdity of the world, awareness of the little in the large and vice versa. This is a search for truth and rescue in the flow of actual events. This is an attempt to escape into the individual comfort zone by means of simple, everyday pleasures and of conversations with oneself on the verge of the real and imaginary. The most incredible things in the work unexpectedly often appear true. This is a world of simple and strange people around, which, in fact, constitute our objective reality full of subjectivism. These are trips far out and deep inside, a combination of the global and local. This is, after all, a travel adventure with a stunning finale."
