Polina Kelm

Lena, Taya and Tamara live in Kyiv and work at local cinema studios. They got used to editing other people’s movies by working with positive film strips only, and they are afraid of computers. Their world is a world of lost and dusty tapes on the floors. They breed cats, watch the Oscar ceremonies every year and secretly dream of working on movies like Avatar. All their lives they have remained on the backstage of the cinema world, on the other side of the screen. And now it’s their time to come onto the stage...
