The Other Chelsea

The Other ChelseaDirector: Jakob Preuss

Logline: Alexei and Nikolai, two middle-aged Ukrainian miners are trying to keep pace with the political and economical changes in their home country. Discordant worlds, soviet culture and oligarch capitalism come together in their favourite place: the football stadium. A serious and humorous approach to post-soviet reality.
