Her name is Yula, sehe lives in Putin's Russia, her home is the largest landfill in Europe and this is the story of her life, a feat of documentary films, recorded over fourteen years (it would be the raw, chilling version of Richard Linklater’s Boyhood). The result is a direct film about childhood, adolescence and the loss of Yula’s youth and a portrait of a non-place and a life on camera.
