Russian Elopement

A fashion movie by Ayta Bembeeva.

“We found this place in a countryside called Dzerzhinsky, it was a quarry, but something went wrong and it was flooded. So local people made it a place to swim and get a tan.” An escape from the chaos of Moscow and a reminder for people about what real freedom is.
