about
This is the soundtrack to Vika Evdokimenko's beautiful short documentary 'Let Me Go'. The score is a quiet, thoughtful mixture of jazz and minimal romanticism, partly inspired by the work of Erik Satie.

LET ME GO
Masha is an ordinary 16 year-old living with her single mother in a tiny Moscow apartment. But when she falls in love with a young man (5 years her senior) living in far away Prague, she presents her mother Inna with a merciless ultimatum. Unconditionally Masha demands the freedom to move out and go and live with her new-found love. After a several month-long battle, and impressed by her daughter's resolve, Inna finally makes a difficult decision. But is she doing the right thing?
The film takes us on an intimate and touching journey alongside a mother helping her daughter cross the threshold into adulthood for the first time. It is a refreshing and earnest exploration of what it means to be a parent and what it takes to let go of the thing you most love.
