Film description
Α film about modern Europe, about two of its edges, or – to put it more precisely – two of its extremes. This is a film about Europe, which extends from the barren land of the eternal winters of Siberia to the Bay of Biscay, where even the laws of nature form fundamentally different paradigms of human existence. What can possibly connect such ostensibly different lives? Tangibly, it does so through the “Western Siberia-Western Europe” pipeline. However, this pipeline has not only connected, but also inextricably merged “this” Russia with “that” Europe.
