UNTIL THE NEXT RESURRECTION
Kaliningrad is a Russian city that used to belong to Germany, when it
was known as Königsberg. At the end of WWII, the German population
was deported and the city was repopulated with Russian emigrants.
This city is the background for the stories and fights for survival of a
group of former convicts, young prostitutes and drug addicts, who were
filmed over the span of ten years. As the people tell their stories, an
off-screen voice foretells the tragic destiny that awaited many of them.


“Over the last eight years, Oleg Morozov worked on a script for
a feature film and was always hunting for locations and characters,
types that he observed in real life. They were people from Zalyvnoye,
the village where he lived. They were drug addicts from Kaliningrad.
Oleg started filming them and little by little his fictional idea started
taking shape in real situations. This is how the documentary film was
born. And this is the peculiarity of this project: fictitious elements
melted into a documentary film and fictitious characters became
real ones.” (Alexandre Slavin)
