SIDELINED is a documentary about a three-month journey through Russia in the end of 2021, exploring the tension between different lines of truth in this controversial country and gaining insights into the contrasting attitudes and debates of the eight interviewees. The focus lies on the feeling of a parallel existence of different truths, of past greatness and coping with everyday life, of USSR nostalgia and autocratic dystopia, of pride and fear. The aim is to show which stories prevail in this nation, and which ones get marginalized. In doing so, the film focuses strongly on the subjective perspectives and experiences of people on the ground.
