Synopsis

I grow up surrounded by propaganda and lies. My journey is an hour-long mosaic created from the archives of the thirty-year existence of the unrecognized Transnistrian republic, while the local authorities contradict themselves by bringing all life aspects of their citizens to the point of absurdity. Now that I have found out that everything I know about my life is a lie, who am I?
