The Whaler Boy
Directed by Philipp Yuryev
Synopsis
Leshka, 15-year-old boy, lives in an isolated village on the Bering Strait. Like most men in his village, he is a whale hunter. When internet arrives in the village, everything changes in his life. The appearance of an unusual girl on a webcam site fascinates him. The protagonist's state of being in love with an image so far away, the blurred silhouette of a beautiful stranger, leads him to the most courageous act in his life: to embark on a dangerous journey using nothing more than a tiny fishing boat through the raging waters of the Bering Strait towards an unfamiliar world in order to find his love.
