ABOUT
A sprawling meditation on the choreography of bodies in Moscow’s urban landscape, DETOURS depicts a new way of dealing illicit drugs via the Darknet, explores the layering of physical and virtual realities, and grapples with the poetics, and politics of space. Taking place in sleepy neighborhoods, among the concrete walls of high-rises, behind garages and amidst abandoned railroads, the film alternately follows and loses track of Denis, the treasureman who hides stashes of drugs all over the city.
