00:00:59This is Roland, and it was the last time I saw him
00:01:02through the eye of the camera.
00:01:04We were shooting scenes for one of the episodes
00:01:07of the erotic film we wanted to make.
00:01:10I didn't know by then that it will come out
00:01:13as a completely different story.

00:01:40We had met through the Internet.
00:01:42I wasn't very impressed at first when I met Roland.
00:01:46He was wearing shorts, and I thought it was inappropriate,
00:01:49and, well, I thought, since it might be just
00:01:54a cultural difference, he's an American, I'm Russian,
00:01:57I should see him again.
00:01:59And I did.
00:02:02And I fell in love.
00:02:04It was autumn.

00:02:20You shed your dress like trees shed their leaves.
00:02:23You fall into my arms like in late fall
00:02:26a cloud falls into the pond,
00:02:29or maybe leaks into the lake.
00:02:31It stays in there until it melts.
00:02:33I like you naked.
00:02:35Stay within my arms until we melt into each other.

00:09:01You shed your dress like trees shed their leaves.
00:09:05You fall into my arms like in late fall a cloud falls into the pond.
00:09:11Or maybe leaks into the lake.
00:09:18It stays in there until it melts.
00:09:23I'd like to make it stay in my arms until it melts into chocolate.

00:10:40♪
00:10:47This project was a result of Roland's obsession with sex.
00:10:51I don't know why. He had never been very good at it.
00:10:55Probably due to his medication problems, side effects.
00:11:01But he's definitely an exhibitionist.
00:11:05I remember one time he wanted to go to the sex club.
00:11:09You know, when people have sex publicly.
00:11:12I wasn't very excited about this, but since I would do anything Roland wanted me to do, I went.
00:11:20Then he wanted to find a couple with whom we could do some erotic projects.
00:11:26Roland was bisexual, so he had some needs, I guess.
00:11:31We never had any interaction with this couple physically.
00:11:35But we planned to shoot some films, erotic films.
00:11:40They saw my visual poetry.
00:11:44This is it.
00:11:55I make a beautiful dress, I put it on and I feel naked.
00:11:59I fall in love, get married and I feel more lonely than ever.
00:12:05I get a new apartment and I feel homeless.
00:12:09I say a word of truth and I feel lonely, homeless and naked.
00:12:18This couple wanted me to write erotic poems so we could shoot them.
00:12:22That's how Autumn came to fruition.
00:12:29It wasn't shot during our first fall with Roland.
00:12:33During our first fall we were hiking and going to the drop-off zones.
00:12:39Roland has a parachute and he liked to jump off the plane.
00:12:44We even went to Florida, but it became too cold here.
00:12:49Hi, Roland!
00:12:51Hey!
00:12:53Hi!
00:12:58Here we go!
00:13:19Here we go!
00:13:49Here we go!
00:14:19Here we go!
00:14:21Here we go!

00:16:18Who's it?
00:16:48Now I want him to fly.
00:16:50Oh, yeah!
00:17:18Who's it?
00:17:20Who's it?

00:17:46Who's it?
00:17:52Natasha!
00:17:54How was that, huh?
00:17:56So what was the best part?
00:18:02This too.
00:18:06I think she had some fun, man.
00:18:10All right. Let's get you guys again.
00:18:12I'm going to close this out.
00:18:14Goofy head off.
00:18:15Look this way.
00:18:15Say yay!
00:18:18Boom, there they go.
00:18:20Wave bye.
00:18:21Bye.
00:18:22OK, stay just on the ground.
00:18:23You have to be careful.
00:18:27And we bonded further.
00:18:29I loved Roland.
00:18:30I wanted to protect him.
00:18:33And I kept writing my visual poetry.
00:18:44Snow is falling, falling, snow, snow, snow, you're falling,
00:19:06falling, sleep, sleep, sleep long,
00:19:13under my song, nothing goes wrong
00:19:19under the blanket of snow.
00:19:22Snow's still falling slow.
00:19:32Dream, dream, and I'll blow the hot breath of summer.
00:19:40Just keep your eyes shut, and dream, dream, don't get up.
00:20:03It's cold here in winter.
00:20:06Sleep, sleep, I'll make the flowers grow.
00:20:19Flowers grow while slow, slow, white snow cover the ground.
00:20:29It's sound sings lullaby, bye, bye, bye.
00:20:59Bye, bye, bye.

00:22:59sleep, falling asleep, snow, falling, falling, snow, snow, snow, falling, snow, snow, snow,
00:23:08snow, and I'll blow the hard breath of summer, just keep your eyes shut and dream, dream,
00:23:23Sling, sling, I'll make the flowers grow, flowers grow while slow, slow white snow covers the
00:23:39ground, it's sound sings long and high, high, high, high.

00:27:03Dream, dream, and I'll blow the hot breath of summer, just keep your eyes shut and dream, dream, don't get up.
00:27:27We went to the Himalayas to trek to the base camp of Mount Everest.
00:27:33It was difficult, exciting, strenuous, and very binding.
00:27:49After that, Roland bought an apartment on the Lower East Side and we moved in together.
00:27:55It took me over a month to paint this apartment.
00:27:57It wasn't painted for about 25 years, and I was working very hard to make it home, but it never felt it.
00:28:09That summer, we went together to Burning Man.
00:28:11It's a festival of alternative culture in Black Rock Desert in Nevada, and I made our costumes.

00:46:18It felt like we were going to go across forever together.
00:46:24But then something happened.
00:46:26First he said that he is not sure that he is ready to get married in summer.
00:46:33Then he said that he is not sure that he is able to get married at all.
00:46:38Then he said that he wanted to be alone for some time and we should spend a certain period of time in separation.
