Alexandr Lopatin

A film based on a script by the Sakhalin ethnographer Alexander Chelnokov. The events of the last months of World War II in the seas of the Far East are associated with modern life on Sakhalin. The heroes of the film are young people who are interested in history and participants in the naval battles of 1945.

This film is about a person who is unique to the present. The representative of the ancient people found an amazing balance between the life of his ancestors and modern life. He remains active and "alive” in difficult conditions. He doesn’t complain about fate, he just works very hard. He has no equals in fishing skills. He is experiencing some kind of absolutely unity with nature, he doesn’t fight with it. His family consists of three dogs and two cats and there’s no one closer.
