Galina Krasnoborova

A film about curses sent by ancestors and the Komi-Permyak people, for whom these are still very real, perhaps even more so than material things.

Cheerful old women with sad eyes tell about a difficult life - about children, illnesses, grooms and favorite songs. The film, built on extremely large plans, draws portraits of four songwriters from a remote Komi-Perm village.
