The half frozen man
2002
A film in the form of musical strolls, encounters with children from music schools in Tomsk, a small town on the banks of the Tom River, with its icy sidewalks and traditional wooden houses. A film in the form of conversations with deportees and descendants of deportees who, from Dostoevsky to the Decembrists, from Solzhenitsyn to Shalamov, have left profound traces that can be read between the lines of Siberian society.
