There is a russian saying, утро вечера мудренее ‘the morning is wiser than the evening’.
This means that in the darkest point of the evening, in our most emotionally vulnerable
state, we risk making poor impulsive choices - choices that we would not otherwise make in the morning.
UTRO means morning in Russian and in this film the concept of morning is embodied
as the culmination of a long and winding physical and emotional journey. Spanning
the distance and time of a single night, UTRO captures the tension which dissolves and
resolves both in the city and ourselves, as the quietness of the morning approaches.
