The Postman's White Nights

The film portrays life in a desolate Russian village, where the only link to the outside world is a solitary postman who crosses a vast lake by boat. The postman’s beloved, seeking a life beyond the village, moves to the city, prompting him to follow. However, he returns shortly after, with no clear reason for his decision. Based on real-life stories, the film features villagers playing themselves, and the search for the protagonist took over a year to complete, adding authenticity to this raw portrayal of isolation and human connection.
