]]> The film is based on an autobiographical episode of the author’s life. “My video is a re-enactment of my Mom’s suicide, 10 years after her death. I woke up very early the morning of March 23rd 2009 and went with the camera from my bed to the balcony from where my mother threw herself: I tried to look through her eyes and capture the last thing   that she saw in her life. By telling this personal yet at the same   time common story of a middle-aged person in Russia in the 1990’s, I aim not to provoke a sense of pity or frustration, but rather to share my experience of living through the trauma of loss, saying it is hard but possible.”

The main character is the equestrian statue that can be found in the South-East corner of the Central Park in New York. The work has only a small allusion to the bough itself. It is a tail painted gold. It gradually becomes clear that this is a horse galloping in a snowstorm. The combination of yellow gold and white snow is the esthetic component of the video.
