ITALY – RUSSIA
2013, 12 MIN.

Director Cristina Picchi

A portrait of a season – a journey through Northern Russia and Siberia, through the feelings and thoughts of people who have to cope with one of the world's harshest climates; a reality where the boundary between life and death is so thin it’s sometimes almost nonexistent. Where civilization constantly both fights and embraces nature and its timeless rules and rites. A reflection on fate, adaptation and the immutable cycles of existence.
