This film is a 30-minute contemplation of the hard work of fishermen living in rigorous northern world. It does not have musical score and it almost has no dialogue.DIRECTOR’S NOTEThe space of life sometimes comes down to very simple things.Imagine: white sky, white snow, skyline, wind, a human figure tucking into ice. The man makes a hole in the ice. For him, it is a possibility to live.Seeming simplicity of life is everything that we are capable of seeing.Perhaps we can sometimes also detect the direction of the flow.FESTIVALS & AWARDSBest Documentary Film Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2007IDFA 2006, Gent International Film Festival 2006, Mar del Plata Film Festival 2007, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2007, Ecocinema Festival 2008, Thessaloniki Documentary Festival 2011, Planete+ Doc Film Festival 2013
