Жемчужная моя
Directed by Sofya Gorlenko
Produced by FSRC, Cultural Root
A gentle documentary about cultural memory and craft, following an artisan's return to her village to reconnect people with their heritage through handmade pearl jewelry.
The story of Alina Chistyakova, founder of a brand of pearl crowns and necklaces crafted using the ancient technique of pearl planting. Alina travels to the village where she spent her childhood to show off her pearl necklaces to her fellow villagers—tractor drivers resting after work, women gathered at a food truck. After all, their great-grandmothers made such necklaces, and not long ago, their grandmothers wore them when they got married… Will the sight of beauty awaken the people's memory? And what will this village comedy of two worlds colliding lead to?
