DESCRIPTION

The director, chose a distant part of the world, not only geographically but also mentally. The Czukocki Peninsula is located far from the tourist trails, monochromatic, in dim colours, still with a bust of Lenin in the middle of place. However, the inhabitants of Lorino: Inuit, Russians and Chuckles, struggling with everyday life and harsh climate have a common, quite bloody ritual. The community-wide whale hunting used to be strongly religious in the past. Today, economic considerations prevail – majestic mammals allow them to survive.
