Save My Speech

This film presents the narrative of Osip Mandelstam, a significant figure in Russian literature whose work faced severe censorship. Through a combination of animation and documentary storytelling, it brings to life the poet's struggles against the state machine that aimed to silence him.

The film highlights the vital role of Nadezhda, Mandelstam's wife, who preserved his poetry by memorizing and transcribing it by hand for future generations. This poignant tale of love and defiance reflects not only on the artist's life but also on the broader themes of artistic freedom and survival.

With a strong cast that includes Viktor Sukhorukov and Chulpan Khamatova, Save My Speech offers a unique exploration of the intersection of art and history, making it a notable work in the animation and documentary genres.
