INFINITY ACCORDING TO FLORIAN
dir. Oleksiy
Radynski, Ukraine 2022, 70’
On the eve of his 90th birthday,
Kyiv-based architect Florian Yuriev gets some bad news. The city has rented out
his architectural opus magnum – Flying-Saucer-shaped avant-garde concert hall –
to a real estate developer who wants to turn it into a shopping mall. (He also
happens to be one of Donald Trump's Ukrainian cronies). Florian decides to quit
his self-imposed seclusion and try to disrupt this phony real estate deal. He
is aided by a group of young architects and followers. As a result of the media
outcry, the infamous new owner of the Flying Saucer building gives a promise to
renovate the place according to Florian's own design. This promise turns out to
be worth nothing, but Florian is not ready to give up. He uses his visionary
skills to snatch an unlikely victory.
