I Am

A generation of a young, just over 30 Russians, born and grown up under soviet regime, but finished their adolescence in a different time, when everything they believed in as children turned out to be only illusion. It's a story of one of them, a man that in order to skip his military service at 18, pretends he is crazy and spends a time in psychiatric clinic. After long period of forceful therapy he is released, and years later, after studying journalism, he gets involved in the Chechen war as documentary filmmaker. Being shot and in condition of clinical death, he remembers his past, summarizing the spirit, desires and the conflicts of his generation. The film, basically, happens in the mind of a dying man.
