Alexandra Strelyanaya · 25 min · Russia

The Kola Peninsula. Varzuga village. A road has recently appeared here. The inhabitants of a distant village talk about how the world coming from outside affects the identity of the village. How can a village survive in the modern world without wasting what the northern land has held for centuries? The priest Mitrofan Badanin commanded ships in the Northern Fleet for most of his life, and now he is restoring the temples of the Kola Peninsula. He shared with the authors of the film reflections on the fate of the village, the characters of people, faith, strengthened by trials at sea.
