A Hawk as Big as a Horse
Sasha Kulak
2022 - 74 min - 35 mm & Vidéo Full HD - Couleur - France

Lydia, a 47 years old Russian transgender person, is a very respected ornithologist in Russia. She lives with her wife Vasilisa in a small town, Shcherbinka, working for a company that prevents bird strikes in airports.
Vasilisa trains horses for the police of Moscow. In a wooden house, that she built alone, Lydia tries to recreate the atmosphere of Twin Peaks, the famous David Lynch series she loves, and tries to make her own version.
Sasha Kulak, the film's director, comes up against a question with Lydia that will upset her conception of documentary: how can one extract reality from a dream? Sasha's voice draws us in until she becomes a character in a rare cinematic experience.
