A quantum of solace on the phone: In Moscow, three psychologists working for a crisis hotline have been battling the growing despair of the population since the start of the war in Ukraine. The film looks at the inner turmoil of people who are still in Russia but are not in accord with the regime. A precise reflection on the potential for internal resistance. A.K.
