Experiencing Interruptions?

In Isolation

In Isolation is about five years in protagonists’ lives. Two Ukrainian musicians united in social responsibility and a conscious choice of their life path: Ihor is a solo violinist and teacher, Oleksandr is a rock musician who plays radical punk music. This film is about Ukraine, an Eastern European nation that is going through a major period of adversity. This film is about people who live in this ex-communist country. It is about contemporary non-commercial culture of music, dubbed as ‘non-format’. At the same time, this film is about non-commercial music performers and the challenges they face everyday.
