The film presents a series of interviews with members of Moscow’s drum’n’bass community in 2006 — a cultural wave that had largely receded by the end of the decade.
At its centre is the community’s traditional gathering place: a square by the monument to poet Wladimir Majakowski, in the heart of Moscow, which once served as the offline extension of the dnbarena.ru forum.
Historically, this square was a stage for dissident poets in the Soviet era and later for opposition rallies.
In the tightening climate of authoritarian control, the eventual ban on all unsanctioned gatherings at the monument silenced a space of public expression with decades of history.
