Title of work

Or Is It?

Synopsis

An old Russian proverb states that if the ash berries are red in autumn, winter will be cold and hard. The work shifts from the structure and restraints imposed by the bureaucratic world we inhabit towards a more self-reflective exploration of a personal and spiritual landscape.
