Synopsis
A visual poem and surrealist requiem for the Kalmyk people that were mass-deported by USSR from 1943 to 1957. Half of them died before they were allowed to return home. The film, by referencing to the past and the lost, poses a critical resistance act face to the current social political situations in the world.
