Yura, a maximalist by nature, who served in the special forces, successfully tried on the role of a hip-hop artist, convinced that the world can be changed with lyrics in his tracks. But just at the moment when we begin to believe in the correctness and invulnerability of the hero, real tests begin for him. Yura learns that his grandfather is in the hospital because he saw his enemy during the Great Patriotic War in a report from Latvia about the parade in honor of the SS. Now the hero does not doubt for a moment that it is he who must restore justice and arrange a meeting between his grandfather and SS Untersturmführer Alfred Weber. To do this, he again has to move from words to deeds. Broken fists, cars and the hero's heart - and that's not all that he will have to face on the way to Europe.

Lucy Raven's Demolition of a Wall (Album 1) is the second film in her trilogy of "Westerns." In American cinema, the Western has traditionally celebrated the expansionist myth that the region is somehow primal or untouched. Raven, by contrast, engages with a West that–while still dramatic in its natural beauty–has been industrialized, militarized, and colonized. She filmed this work at an explosives range in New Mexico that is typically employed as a test site by the US Departments of Defense and Energy and private munitions companies. Notably, it is close to Los Alamos, a national laboratory known for its role in the development of the nuclear bomb. Using a variety of cameras and imaging techniques, Raven captures the trajectory of the pressure-blast shockwaves that move through the atmosphere in the wake of an explosion.
