The documentary project The Term was conceived in May 2012. When the directing trio commenced mapping the Russian sociopolitical landscape, Vladimir Putin had just settled into the Kremlin for his third term. The original experimental format of “documentary bulletins,” which were published daily online, allowed for wide-ranging content; in the feature film version, however, the filmmakers focused solely on the members of various opposition groups. Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information.
The protagonist of the film is Nóra, a teenager blessed with remarkable intellect, but unable to utilise her talents due to conflicts at school and with her family, with a tendency to harm even herself. The film looks back on the past life of Nóra and her circle of friends seven years back, investigating what brought them together then torn them apart as they have to face their old selves, lives and fates.
