action
The reindeer hunter Nanouk (Mikhail Aprosimov) and his wife Sedna (Feodosia Ivanova) live in a yurt in the hostile ice desert of Yakutia, following the traditions of their ancestors. Modern civilization is only noticeable in the contrails and the occasional helicopter flyby. Nature is changing - the hunt becomes more and more difficult, the ravens come earlier and the ice is thinning. Chena (Sergei Egorov), who visits her regularly, is the only connection with the outside world and with her daughter Ága, who left her parents a long time ago. Sedna would like to talk about it, but Nanouk only finds herself speechless. It is only when Sedna's condition worsens that Nanouk sets out to find Ága (Galina Tikhonova) and comes into a completely strange world.

criticism
According to Jenni Zylka from Spiegel Online , Lazarov relies on the visual impact of the environment, the outstanding soundtrack and the strength of the emotions that Mikhail Aprosimov and Feodosia Ivanova are able to show with minimal gestures. In his second feature film, Lazarov deals with a topic that can play anywhere, where children become alienated, where two love each other and parents age. Lazarov has shown in his masterpiece that the private can also become political in the eternal ice.
According to Knut Elstermann from MDR Kultur , Lazarov observes this couple in a wonderful way, who have adjusted completely in their long lives. Every grip is perfect and their mutual affection is always palpable, which the protagonists only turn into a touching experience with glances and silent gestures. It is a visually stunning work about the beauty of a threatened nature and as a silent drama about the intimate, vital relationship between two people, it is universally valid at the same time.
