She is beautiful, radiant, irresistible. He is self-assured, arrogant, gay. She keeps leaving someone, he thinks he knows all about himself. She starts a battle with someone who is ten times stronger. He mainly wants to be left alone. They still haven’t met yet and no one knows the consequences of a meeting. There is black ice on the streets of Moscow…Gololed is a Russian experiment in direct cinema: hard, snazzy, unpolished, unfiltered and uncompromising. Brashinsky uses the technical possibilities of modern digital cameras to increase the feeling of tension, instability and threatening danger.The film revolves around two people, the man and the woman, but the emphasis is on him, he is the one who undergoes a development. She only happens to appear on screen and in his life and changes everything in her wake.Gololed, the story of an obsession that leads to self?discovery, provides a completely new, unexpected and unknown image of the life of hypermodern Muscovites. Brasjinski: ‘I want the viewer to leave the cinema and wonder: what on earth was that? And the answer is: a hit-and-run picture!
