Одинокий подсолнух

Description

Alexander, the son of Leningrad artist Sergey Manuylov, seeks to honor his father's legacy by recreating the space of memory surrounding his life and work. As he collaborates with artists, friends, and family, Alexander interprets significant moments from the past, reflecting on loss and the passage of time. The film documents the process of constructing a posthumous exhibition that never came to fruition during Sergey's lifetime, highlighting the impact of his father's absence on those who knew him. In addition to the focus on Alexander's efforts, the film also examines the broader cultural context in which Sergey lived and created. Through interviews and artistic recreations, it sheds light on the artistic environment of Leningrad during the era, illustrating not only Sergey's contributions but also the memories and stories shared by those who remember him. "Одинокий подсолнух" was released in 2026 and presents a thoughtful reflection on memory and artistic heritage.
