In this eerie, hazy fairy tale, two self-reliant families, isolated in the Siberian boreal forest, are locked in a perpetual feud that distracts them from the real threat looming: rapacious foreigners bent on profiting from the unspoiled landscape.

Description

Filmmaker Daan Jongbloed stumbled upon Peer Smulders in his ramshackle farmhouse and spent the next eight years filming and chronicling his ascetic life. This is a cinematic and moving account of the long-lasting effects of the Second World War on a man who has lived in the past for over 70 years. Eileen Arandiga
