- Summary:
- Despite war and sanctions, life in Moscow continues: resilient, opulent, and tightly controlled. This documentary offers rare access to the Russian capital, revealing underground parties, luxury smuggling, and a grey market that thrives behind closed doors. While Western brands appear shuttered, trade flows through back channels, and tourism from China replaces lost Western visitors. But freedom of expression has vanished. Social media is banned, influencers tread carefully, and neutrality carries risk. In a city adapting to isolation, we explore what it means to live well, stay silent, and survive.
