Photo press serviceFrom April 10, the biographical drama “Oxygen Station” is published in Ukrainian rental. At the heart of history is a significant fragment of the biography of the leader of the Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Dzhemilev, when during time the greatest trials and threats to his life and a sprout of hopes for fragile happiness in the conditions of total captivity coincided.
1980, USSR. Mustafa Dzhemilev’s long -term political prisoner is exile in the village of Zyryanka in Soviet Yakutia. Here it works at the oxygen station: daily fills rusty cylinders with oxygen. His daily monotonous work is reminiscent of the fate of mythological Sisyphus, the hero of the myth of Albert Camus.
The audience will open the little -known pages of the history of the Crimean Tatar people, framed in the surrealistic parable. Struggle, resistance, love at distance, life in exile, the acquisition of freedom in spite of everything – universal topics that unfold against the background of suffocating stagnation.
Love that was not destined to be – and yet it happened
Their paths had to be crossed. Mustafa is a dissident, a regime prisoner exiled thousands of kilometers from home. Safarer is a young teacher who lives a normal life and has completely different plans for the future. But the fate managed differently. She goes through a country where fear is stronger than hope, and meeting with Mustafa changes her forever. Their love sprouts contrary to circumstances as the only true freedom in the world, desperately trying to share them.
The symbolism of the oxygen station
The oxygen station is not only the place of work of the main character, but also a deep symbol in the movie. In a world where everyone breathes fear, Mustafa becomes those who fill people’s lives around “oxygen” – faith in truth and justice. His struggle seems hopeless as Sisyphus’s work, but it is at the darkest moment that he has a chance to light – love that changes everything.
Director Quote:
“It is a story about how love becomes a challenge of the system. About love that is born in conditions where there is no place for humanity. And the choice that changes not only the lives of two people, but also the history of the whole people. Mustafa and Safarenar find each other where there is neither hope nor future – and it is the strongest story that can be said.”
