Waiting For the Sea

Marat (Egor Beroev), once the proud captain of a fishing boat, had gone to sea ignoring the warnings of impending danger, sailed straight into a fearful cataclysm and lost his boat, his wife and all of his crew. Miraculously he survived, and insists on coming back to his dilapidated hometown, which rests now on what once used to be the bottom of the sea. Next to it, he finds his sunken boat, standing on the dry white earth. Obsessed with the idea that if he can drag it back into the sea, he will retrieve everything he lost he single-handedly tries to budge the rusty hulk towards a direction that may, or may not, be the sea and will allow nothing - friends, relatives or the love of a woman who will do anything for him - to divert him from his purpose.
