A person can search for his ideal all his life, the only one that is destined for him by fate itself. But these searches do not always have a happy ending, sometimes they end dramatically. Diploma short film of the director, the first film made in the Yakut language

Diploma film from the Gerasinov course, apparently the first film made in the Sakha language and therefore the origin story of today’s most interesting “Russian” filmmakers. Bit Duvidha, bit Vampyr, very tight.
I really enjoyed this one. The simple mystical plot about a lost traveler and an abandoned house (that could be home to anyone or anything) definitely works. You really feel like you’re on the edge between the real and the supernatural.
What’s most surprising is that we end up learning a lot more about the girl who helps the traveler than we do about him. I guess this is intentional, so the traveler could represent any viewer, especially the people of the Sakha Republic.
Visually, the movie is quite impressive, especially considering it's from the very early days of Sakha cinema. Plus, it’s likely the first one in their language!
