The Gulls

Ella MANZHEEVA 2015 Russian Federation Fiction color 84min Russian DCP
The Gulls is a parable on the background of modern Kalmykia. It is about love, with the characters intuitively fulfilling forgotten traditions. Their love is silent and their sorrow without tears. The seagulls are souls of dead fishermen, broken boats, and hope. Elza, the fisherman's wife, wants to leave her husband but cannot take this step because she is afraid of uncertainty.
