Silent Souls
Directed by Alexey Fedorchenko
Produced by Aprel Mig Pictures, Media Mir Foundation
A meditative, elegiac journey through grief and memory, where a widower's intimate recollections of his wife interweave with the spiritual rituals of a vanished people.
Miron Alekseevich, director of a paper and pulp mill, goes to bury his wife Tanya in the place where they once spent their honeymoon. He goes not alone, but with a photographer named Stork, to whom he tells touching details of his life with Tanya. The narrative weaves together the memories of the characters, as well as the rituals and beliefs of the Meri people, a small Finnish tribe that once lived in the Northern Volga region and dissolved among the Russians.
