Bulldozers crush everything that is dumped here day after day by armies of trucks. Amidst the stinking detritus of a wasteful civilisation, people scavenge for anything that might help them survive: leftover food, soap, jackets, containers of all shapes and sizes, mattresses, shoes.
\nSvalka is Europe\u2018s biggest waste dump: a fenced-in, heavily guarded area some 13 kilometres from Moscow and the Kremlin. is surreal- looking, hostile environment is home to people who have nowhere else to go. Including Yula: 12 years old, pretty, and despite everything full of hope and dreams. She smokes, drinks vodka, and wants to lead a normal life. Nothing out of the ordinary, but for her light years away. Ignored by society, most of the inhabitants of the Svalka are in urgent need of medical care. They treat their frost-bitten limbs themselves. The chances of finding work in the city are slim, their destitution is too obvious \u2013 a vicious circle.<\/p>\n

\u00bbWhat if I don\u2018t have anywhere to live, don\u2018t have anything? Why do I have to disappear? I\u2018m a human!\u00ab one inhabitant asks Polak\u2018s camera. The Oscar-nominated film-maker spent fourteen years following the everyday lives of the people at the Svalka. She gives the invisible a voice. In poetic, harrowing pictures, she shows what the government is doing its best to hide. She takes her camera into the tiny shacks, hides herself amongst the inhabitants during police controls. She\u2018s there when Yula gets drunk and fights with her friends, when she falls in love, becomes pregnant, and wants to give up her child for adoption. She is also there when Yula escapes and at the age of 25 leaves the place she spent her childhood and youth. A poignant, very different look at Putin\u2018s Russia.<\/p>\n
