In the south of Adrar, there are objects with rather original shapes and black in color. The pottery of the Nementcha Mountains is fashioned in clay with pink tones and decorated with brown designs. Originally, objects were made in families and exchanged between neighbours...

The Dymov Ceramics factory and the cultural life that unfolded around it have become an integral part of Suzdal — many tourists are surprised that twenty years ago none of this happened. The authors film the co-founders of the plant Vadim Dymov and Evgenia Zelenskaya in workshops and at home and ask them how they came to entrepreneurship, what they are inspired by and what it is like to be partners in business and in life.

Brought up in Barcelona, the painter, graphic artist and sculptor was drawn to Paris and, under the influence of the surrealists, developed his unique style and poetic imagery that unite Catalan folk art and fantastic elements. Robin Lough followed the 85-year-old Miró to theatre rehearsals and went to see him in his studio on Majorca. There he met with an amazingly creative and disciplined artist, whose visionary pictures paved the way for abstract expressionism.
