Garagenvolk

Synopsis

Im unwirtlichen russischen Norden erstrecken sie sich ins Unendliche: Garagen, hinter deren rostigen Toren sich alles, nur keine Autos finden. Es sind die geheimen Refugien des russischen Mannes. Hier wird sauniert und musiziert, werden Wachteln gezüchtet und Skulpturen geschmiedet. Die russische Garage ist der Fluchtpunkt aus einem trostlosen Alltag, die Projektionsfläche großer Träume.

Statement of the Jury Heiner Carow Prize:
“The manhole cover is my door, but I'm happy. My life is beautiful,” says one of the characters in the film. Reaching a decision was very difficult for us in this strong year of the Perspektive Deutsches Kino. We chose Natalija Yefimkina's Garagenvolk. Cinema at its best.
The director allows us to peer into a microcosm that seems like a parallel world to us. The complex world of a morbid garage complex in a mining town in northern Russia is reminiscent of an allotment garden colony. In each of these small garages, as the film increasingly takes its time in observing, a universe of its own begins to unfold. Characters that seem bizarre at first become reflectors of society. Love, friendship and alcohol, dreams of prosperity and the future as well as inklings of joy all find a home here.
The future of all these people is NOW. And if the restless action, whether it is the search for scrap expansion of the basement, the crooked tones of the punk band rehearsal, the beating or the carved icons, if this action comes to a standstill, then the flow of life also stops, for there is no future then. While one of the protagonists digs five floors beneath his garage, a Sisyphean task without a goal, other than the delight of the moment, the film unearths images of a metaphorical dimension that go beyond mere observation. The absurdity of the actions in the characters' general hopelessness transforms the garage world more and more into reality. It's not the characters in the film who live in a parallel world, it's we who do.
