THE WHALE FROM LORINO
One of the last sources of life and tradition of the Chukchi people, also endangered with extinction, is whale hunting. The Chukchi hope to survive the next winter. When Lorion land is heated with the sun, the hunters set off. A clash of two worlds, which come to the verge of existence at every encounter.
