Synopsis

Some time ago they would come here to walk their dogs, play with their kids or jog. Today they are two hostile parties fighting over a patch of ground in a park.

Every Sunday half of them come to pray by a wooden cross, and another half is there to defend a small spot of land, which they want to stay public.

Who could have imagined such a confrontation in a country which had been fully secular, even atheistic for decades? Still, a collision between orthodox believers and local dwellers, who don’t want to have a new church instead of a park or a public garden is quite common in the Russian capital these days.

“200 Churches” development project started by Russian Orthodox Church incooperation with Moscow government provoked several severe conflicts in the city.

The film focuses on a story of Torfyanka, a small park where contention between the believers and park defenders has turned into a severe struggle with night watches, physicalfights and mutual offence.

“«Святое место» удивительным образом предъявляет зарождение гражданского общества. Я убежден, что этот фильм, который сегодня интересен своей актуальностью, завтра будет важен как ценнейший документ истории, истории той России будущего, о которой много говорят. Мы не сможем в ней оказаться, пока этот процесс не накроет всю страну.”
Виталий Манский, MEDUZA
“Стояние в парке Торфянка — эмульсия несочетаемого на фоне хорошеющей Москвы. Одним нужна церковь формата «храм в шаговой доступности». Другим важно сохранить парк в неизменном виде как часть повседневности. Обе стороны — соседи по району, вышли из общего культурного бэкграунда: «Катюши» на День Победы и возгласа «Христос Воскресе!» на Пасху.”
Юрий Котиков, НОВАЯ ГАЗЕТА
