Boris Ryzhy

Poetry, the Russian mafia, suicide and love. Director Aliona van der Horst meets the former neighbours of the Russian poet Boris Ryzhy, seven years after his death (Boris committed suicide in 2001 at the age of 27). They find it hard to remember the promising young man that once lived in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg (59', video).
