The story of everyday survival of the traditional sea hunters of the Bering Strait in the Far East of Russia is enriched with animated Inuit myths that at times prevail reality. This is a visually impressive cinematic parable about the vitality of the ancient Arctic culture.—Alexei Vakhrushev

Really a nice movie, with original animation
The mixture of realism of the day after day struggling with death, cold and food that hunters can bring to their town is really great!
They tell us how their everyday is, mixing it with a very good narration and animation that tells us te stories of their culture. Narration fluids from reallity (real motion images) to non reallity (animation). We enjoy very much the story and music with a very well written story.
Those documentaries are very necessary to watch, to tell people that today in the 21st Century it exist people that co-exist with nature in pure harmony, hunting what they need, eating what they need... Everybody should watch it and reconect with nature that makes us what we are: humans; and what we are today: a being that has beenm isolated from nature.
7 stars out of 10.
Very interest and exciting movie
A beautiful film made with great love for the people of Chukotka. At the declared documentary, it all-not absolutely documentary, in it there is a subject mythological line, and quite to itself the sharp plot forcing to empathize with the events on the screen at all less (and personally at me it turned out much more), than in good art cinema. I was at a specially organized viewing in Lenfilm, along with folk dances and the opportunity to communicate with the Director. The film caused a lot of emotions in the audience, who said very warm thanks to the Director, under each of which I am ready to subscribe. The conversation went on for a very long time - everyone asked how these nice tough people from your movie live, whether they have a future, whether their past has not been erased from their memory. Such is the power of this film. Translate with google, sorry
