Andrey Borisov

A documentary road movie. Traveling across his homeland, the filmmaker explores what Yakut cinema is, and what it means to the Sakha people and to himself.

The story is based on real events, a journey of a popular Moscow actor to shoot a film in Yakutia. Through his eyes, we see the mysterious worlds of "Olonkho" culture in the Sakha republic and of the contemporary Yakut film tradition, with all its national uniqueness. In this island of creativity very different people unite to create rather than destroy.
