The Lake
Russia2016documentary30'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2017)
In the severe landscape of northern Siberia there is a huge lake and two people in mourning. The Filippovs are a middle-aged married couple who spend most of the time close to the beautiful, yet dangerous, nature. Their life, far away from the civilization, is accompanied by a camera registering their tedious everyday reality. The lake is the centre of their existence – it provides them with food, but takes away life. The water claimed the life of their beloved son. He is shown in the photos and mentioned in his parents’ short conversations, filled with grief and mutual grievances.
