THE TWO
7 min., 16 mm, Russia, b&w
Script and director - Dmitri Frolov
Actors - Alexey Shuvalov and Dmitri Shibanov
 In St. Petersburg`s environ, in the palace park of
Pavlovsk, stands an original monument.
The time didn`t spare the metallic construction, that
had been before, as it seems, a lountain
with nude torso on its top. Now there`s no figure
above, but only the hand, uplifted to
heaven in resolutely gesture. Created by time, this is
monument for hand as the main ruler
of human ideas. Hands bake bread, hands build the
houses, teatch children and care
beloveds, create masterpices and lead to the light.
Hand, reached to friend, simbolize
the brothership, to rival - the conciliation. But the
same time hand also may hold a veapon,
hand signs the sentence of death, hand seduces, beats
and even kills.
So what the monument dedicated to - to Kind or Evil ?
This question became the catalyst
of making the film "The Two". On example of two young
people relation there`s maked an
attempt to philosophize on this theme.
