A controversial Soviet scientist Boris Zolotov decided to leave the scientific circles to follow private beliefs. He has gathered around him hundreds of disciples. Like many in the group, young Ekaterina was led there by many unanswered questions. Together with Boris Zolotov, she discusses concepts of happiness in today’s Russia. SWIMMERS is an observation of this extraordinary attempt to achieve and maintain collective belief, on the border of cosmology, science and psychedelic trance theater.
