And this is not the end of the fairy tale. That’s where all the fun begins! How to live further?

The Book of the Sea
Director: Alexey Vakhrushev

The story of everyday survival of traditional Arctic sea hunters of the Bering Strait in the Far East of Russia is enriched with incredible and heartwarming animated Inuit myths, that, at times, prevail reality. “The Book of the Sea” is a dramatic parable about the vitality of the ancient Arctic culture.
