Director’s statement
The music of the Russian band Reka WW (Река WW) touches upon the depths of the human soul; it converses with the listener on the most intimate matters. Yet along with this overwhelming sincerity, there is immense power in the band's music. It covers you, bathes you - and the encounter with this music turns into a rite of purification, after which you feel completely renewed. This is what essentially our video is about.
