| Summary: | Verzio FF
In the Evenky language “Gugara” stands for the sound of the bell hanging round a reindeer’s neck. It’s one of the few sounds to be heard in the Siberian forest. In the middle of the taiga lives the family of elderly Dimitri and Tatiana, Evenky reindeer herders. Recently, their entire herd was killed by wolves. Now, like all Evenk without reindeer, they will have to move into a completely different world. Everybody else already has left life in the forest for the nearby Russian village. This perceptive observational documentary about a small Siberian community describes the paradoxical world of former nomads and reindeer herdsmen forced to abandon their ancient way of life. |
