Description
Synopsis:
This film uses a journey along the banks of the Pinega River in the Arkhangelsk region and random meetings as a way of exploring idealisation as an attempt to recreate the rapidly disappearing identity of Russia’s northern villages. It is also an observation and record of the smooth flow of life, where distinctive cultural phenomena are part of the daily routine.
