Bells from the Deep
A group of pilgrims lie down on the thin ice of the lake Svetloyar and begin to look for the city of Kitesh. According to the legend, God saved the city from the Mongolian prince Batyi's soldiers by letting it sink to the bottom of the lake. If you listen carefully you can hear the bells of the Kitesh cathedral toll deep down.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs each frame as a portal where myth and daily ritual coexist. He explores the space between the pilgrims' hope and the lake's silent expanse, relying on the power of the static image to evoke contemplation.
What lingers after viewing is a profound quiet, a sense of having witnessed a fragile pact between faith and landscape. A cinematic meditation that resonates long after the final frame. — MovieFinder Editorial
