Notes

Sakha, 1930. An old couple live their days in the thick taiga snow forest. Once early in the winter an eagle flies into their garden. In Sakha, eagles are worshipped as god. They call a shaman to ask the reason for the eagle’s visit. They let the eagle into their house, away from the freezing winter temperatures of Sakha. The eagle sits at the sacred place next to the icon, a portrait of Jesus. Their quiet life is suddenly upended by a shocking incident...
