Plot synopsis
If architecture is "frozen music", then the facades of houses are its score. Exploring the architecture of the post-Soviet space, from wooden architecture to Baroque and Classicism, from Art Nouveau to Stalinist and Khrushchev architecture, which continued in modern areas of panel buildings, often called "human villages", we are trying to understand how this centuries-old symphony could sound and look, and most importantly, we find that irreconcilable conflict of the individual and the mass, unique and typical, which is reflected even in the "stone".
