In the remote forests of Siberia, far from civilization, two self-sufficient families live on opposing sides of the Yenissei river: the Braguine on one side, the Kiline on the other. While the water marks their separation, so does a feud that has cut off all kinds of communication between the two. However, a new wild community takes shape on a small island in the middle of the river, as the children find a way to play out their freedom together. In Cogitore´s critically acclaimed documentary, tensions of a familial conflict turn into a tale of fear, floating above buried questions surrounding the weight of the past in the shaping of a new future.

Director
Clément Cogitore
Young master of the visual arts, Clément Cogitore dominates the fusion of film, photography and experimental video-art. Exploring the idea of collective memory, his work questions our relationship with our own images and representations by bringing to life the intersection of cinematic expression with forms of contemporary art. Among numerous distinctions, Cogitore saw his first feature film Neither heaven nor earth (2015) selected to be screened at the International Critics' Week in Cannes, received the prestigious Marcel Duchamp award in 2018 and has had his work exhibited in venues such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin and MoMA in New York. His latest film, Goute d'Or, was present at the Cannes 2022 Festival.
