A non-narrative hand-painted visual poem about ideas of diaspora,
homeland, and the tragic mass-deportations of the Kalmyk people during
WWII. A visual poem and surrealist requiem for the Kalmyk people that
were mass-deported by USSR from 1943-1957 and half of them died before
they were allowed to return home. The film manifests itself as an
archetype with frame by frame hand painted imagery, bringing back an
example of human history on the eternal theme of diaspora and the loss
of homeland, but more importantly, by referencing to the past and the
lost, it poses a critical resistance to the current social political
situations in the world.

There was a strange moments in the life, after a strong shock when you
feel time slows down. When you you captured the fear of loss and you
are alienated from yourself. When you think that something is
happening with you and without your knowledge . When you came to some
familiar place , but already there is nothing here.
