Two Boys Who Don't Drink

2002 · 39 min · Documentary

"Almost everyone in our village drinks," "everyone who lives here is drunk and alcoholic," "they steal all sorts of things, then they sell them, they drink everything." This is how the little residents of the Ivanovo region talk about their village. They talk casually, not seeing anything special in it. No one, neither children nor adults, is surprised that two boys, abandoned by an alcoholic mother, live nearby. The children run the farm themselves, keep goats, and repair the roof. Another thing is strange to the villagers — the boys do not drink or smoke. This is really rare in the Russian countryside.
