Three years ago my colleague had left Moscow and begin to live with her boyfriend in Sweden (Karlshamn). I made a short documentary film “Glass Wall” (5 min.) about it, and for this reason, Sweden has become the first foreign country that I visited. So I can also say that the first real meeting with Europe for me began in Swedish town of Karlshamn...
I think that cinema could be a kind of door through the invisible wall between different cultures. I use "The Glass Wall" as a verbal metaphor of this barrier, consisting of stereotypes, mentality, cultural differences, politics, etc.
