"Soviet Life" is a documentary film that follows renowned artist Zoya Cherkassky—whose vivid, high-priced works reflect themes of immigration, poverty, and alienation—on a personal and artistic journey. From her studio in South Tel Aviv to her childhood home in Kyiv, the film explores her search for a lost Soviet past and a sense of belonging. Blending art with biography, it offers an intimate look at a life shaped by cultural intersections, including her partnership with an African migrant and their multilingual, multicultural family.
