The Epplee Brothers

2020 16 min Animation

The story of two brothers who grew up in a wealthy Moscow family and survived devastating revolutionary changes, but were arrested and sent to a camp in 1941 for their German roots. Very little information about their lives has survived, but the little that remains is incredibly beautiful and alive. The grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the heroes became film artists in order to try to understand what happened to their family in the last century and how to deal with this memory today.
