It's dangerous to be a pizza delivery guy - you can fall in love with your own rapist. Actually, the film of the young director Igor Vorskla, which appeared at the box office today, begins so simply and provocatively. And if you look at the style of the picture - it can be boldly "raised to the banners" by Russian emo.

Poor sick guy Venya (Leonid Bichevin) suffers from a fear of open spaces - he literally pounds in any public places. Venya's living space is narrowed down to the attic. Doubtful drinking doctor (Alexander F. Sklyar) advised him to be treated with sex, and the guy did not think of anything better than to call … a pizza delivery girl. Then Vika (Maria Mashkova) appears in the form of an emo and "everything started to turn." By the way, the peddler has a friend who is performed by Nelly Uvarova - in this film, too, of an informal appearance.

- The idea of emo belongs to the costume designers - Elena Stepanova and Dasha Zonova. Black bangs with colored strands, piercings, pink dress, black nail polish - this supported the image that was written out in the script. The result is such an extravagant butterfly that falls into a trap. - The director considers.

Igor Vorskla says that Maria Mashkova carefully entered the role - she studied emo movement. However, the director would not like to call his film an attempt to romanticize this sub-culture. After all, we are talking about a whole generation that was born in the turbulent eighties, which did not have enough warmth and affection from their parents - they were busy with survival …

- As a result, we got an abandoned generation, which is forced to swim out on its own. And one gets the impression that most of it is floundering overboard. - Says Igor Vorskla. - Our main character is a fictional, complex and contradictory character. He acts not only as a bearer of the basic problems of a generation, but also as a force, an ability to overcome them.

"Closed Spaces" is a sensory cognitive film. It is like an excuse to dig into yourself once again. Unless, of course, it's not scary …
