Natal’ia Ivanova’s debut two-episode television production Robin (in Russian snegir’, a nickname derived from the main character’s surname Snegirev, and meaning robin) is set in an urban centre where the viewer is introduced to a group of teenage friends practicing extreme biking. Five boys and one girl—Natasha (Anastasiia Richi)—roam the streets of their city on bikes; an old garage serves as their base where they listen to funky music and do all sorts of “cool stuff.” <...>
