Synopsis
Set against the backdrop of one of Russia's most industrially brutal and polluted cities, Harmony explores social and gender dynamics of Russian youth through the paradigms and preconceptions of the country’s most prominent sports: ice hockey and rhythmic gymnastics. The two respectively embody Russia’s nationalistic interpretation of hyper-masculine and feminine ideals. Here, sport and everyday life gather broader meaning — reflecting the traits and obsessions of society as a whole.
