The project tells about the places of beach recreation and their surroundings, filmed in the autumn-winter period.

Noisy and crowded in the summer, during the off-season, these places are freed from human fuss and become a type of calm minimalism.

During this period, in such places, there is both peace and a slightly disturbing sense of alienation from civilization, the echo of which is heard everywhere.

The project was filmed in the vicinity of Moscow, Kiev, St. Petersburg, Vyshgorod, Samara, Murmansk, Kem, Vyborg, Tutaev, Sortavala and Zelenogorsk. Closed For Season Scroll down

The quiet transition from autumn to winter is not a bad time at all. It’s a time for protecting and securing things and for making sure you’ve got in as many supplies as you can. It’s nice to gather together everything you possess as close to you as possible, to store up your warmth and your thoughts and burrow yourself into a deep hole inside, a core of safety where you can defend what is important and precious and your very own. Then the cold and the storms and the darkness can do their worst. They can grope their way up the walls looking for a way in, but they won’t find one, everything is shut, and you sit inside, laughing in your warmth and your solitude, for you have had foresight. There are those who stay at home and those who go away, and it has always been so. Everyone can choose for himself, but he must choose while there is still time and never change his mind. "Moominvalley in November", Tove Jansson, 1970
