Mirnaya Zhizn plot

Father Sultan fled Chechnya with his son Apti after his wife was killed and their house destroyed during the war. Now they live in a remote village in the Russian countryside. Directors Antoine Cattin and Pavel Kostomarov quietly film something of their new daily life. With still images, where the camera often slowly glides past to make the whole situation visible. And with attention to the light: the dust that swirls up in incoming sunlight, the twilight in the snowy landscape or a lamp that illuminates the work.
