Sour cream

The film talks about the fate of teenagers Ulya and Mathew, from a small town where eve-ryone knows each other. An abandoned field near the highway has become a hiding place for them. There, in the tall grass, they managed to hide from prying eyes. And the adult world, with all its rudeness and despair, existed in parallel, no chance of intruding. It seemed, that no one could take away the last days of their passing childhood, with their first love and pleasures that only they could appreciate like bread with sour cream.
However, the immense space and remoteness from the outer world attracts not only teenagers in love. Adults came unexpectedly. Ulya and Matvey became witnesses of a vile crime.
With all their might, they run from what they’ve seen, but they have nowhere to run to. Their childhood is forever left in the grass, which can no longer hide them.
