Through her very real subject Edgar Figner, director Nathalie Alonso Casale offers us an intimate sense of the 21st-century Russian zeitgeist. A true alchemist, Mr. Figner has spent his life in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) as a sound-effects artist at Lenfilm Studios, where from the silent era to the present he has used commonplace objects (cabbages, old shoes) to create complex sound effects for films. Under the pressures of contemporary Russian life, Figner begins to retreat into a past comprising his own personal history and the history of Russian cinema. As reality and memory blend with stunning scenes from Soviet films, Figner’s art becomes a soundtrack for the muffled culture created by the repression of the Soviet era. This delicate mix of documentary, reality and cinematic imagination creates a deeply sensitive account of the silences at the heart of the Russian social, political and cinematic experience.

Was Hungary one the fascists’ side in WWII? Why does a hydraulic chair leg cost 245 rubles in Maxidom, but only costs 105 in «Leroy Merlin»? Did they have socialism there too? So they don’t have that wall paper? Did you know that it’s democratic parliamentarian republic? It’s the birthplace of the Rubik’s cube. You’d be better off holding this glue instead of goofing off. What would you do if you found out your father was a collaborator? The father was repressed, while the son was repressing the uprising. You know, I write about you in my scripts, I give out your secrets, so what do you feel? Is it dad’s wrench? Maybe they can think that you just made me up? Well, at first I didn’t like it, but then I accepted it. Can I go now?

"As Guy Fihman said, Bruine Squamma is also the story of a woman (N.K.) coming out of her house (Mozart House) speeding (tunnels) to join a man (Bléneau + cloud). And yet I wanted the shape of the film to be the furthest, the most secant, the most tenuous possible, a continuum of beats where fluctuate incessant metamorphoses swirls. I wanted to travel in a shaky and fixed form, states that continue to wither and get caught in unfixable beats." --Claudine Eizykman
