Oil Rocks: City above the Sea plot

One hundred kilometers off the coast of Baku in the Caspian Sea is Neft Daslari, a system of oil rigs with a hotel, apartments, shops and sports facilities for 5,000 temporary residents, connected by more than 200 kilometers of bridges. It was built under Stalin's orders to supply the Soviet Union with oil and is still functioning to this day. This documentary, made to mark the sixtieth anniversary, shows the imaginative life in this Italo Calvino-like city.
