"Status: Free" is an attempt to create a collective portrait of the new creative emigration. Before us is a story about free and courageous artists, recorded by journalist and writer Sergei Nikolaevich, who himself left Russia after the war began. His heroes did not want to become hostages of official propaganda, decided to do without the state noose, were not afraid to express their position against Putin's aggression. How is their life today? What problems have they encountered in the West? What does it mean to be Russian in the current circumstances? And how do they see their own future and the prospects for their country? Among the heroes are Kirill Serebrennikov, Renata Litvinova, Chulpan Khamatova, Ingeborga Dapkunaite, Maxim Galkin, Dmitry Krymov, Ivan Vyrypaev, Polina Osetinskaya and others. "Status: Free"— is a cast of the current reality of today, a snapshot of the constantly changing life of creativity.
