In this pastoral documentary, Sergei Loznitsa captures an episode in the life of a fishing family who welcome two orphaned girls into a village in the Russian Far North bordering the White Sea. The sublimely sculptural setting constructs a narrative bordering on fiction, between desolate expanses, the slowed flow of time and intimate portraiture.
