December 1897, Paris. Edmond Rostand is not yet 30 but already has two children and too much anxiety. He has not written anything for two years. Ignoring the whims of actresses, the demands of his producers, the jealousy of his wife, the stories of his best friend's broken heart, and the lack of enthusiasm of all those around him, Rostand must focus and put pen to paper. For now, he only has the title: "Cyrano de Bergerac."
R; 110 minutes; French and Russian with English subtitles
Human is a collection of stories and images of our world, offering an immersion to the core of what it means to be human. Through these stories full of love and happiness, as well as hatred and violence, Human brings us face to face with the other, making us reflect on our lives. From stories of everyday experiences to accounts of the most unbelievable lives, these poignant encounters share a rare sincerity and underline who we are—our darker side, but also what is most noble in us and what is universal.
