In the organizer's words:

Experience the moving story of Dmitri Shostakovich from a whole new perspective: "Two" is a fascinating documentary that focuses on the composer's wife, Irina Antonovna Shostakovich. Based on one of the rare interviews with Shostakovich's widow, conducted by filmmaker Elena Yakovich in 2021, the film reveals intimate insights into the life and personal struggles of the great composer.

At 105 minutes long and in the original Russian version with English subtitles, the film brings a story full of depth and emotion, told through the eyes of a woman who knew Shostakovich like no one else. Experience a very special encounter - Elena Yakovich will be there in person!
