Belye nochi pochtalyona Alekseya Tryapitsyna

A very realistic depiction of life in a beautiful Russian village whose tenuous connection with the rest of the world is slowly getting severed. This lends it an air of magic & mystery. Unfortunately, all's not good for this village since it doesn't have the basic infrastructure that we take for granted, like schools & healthcare institutions. People are poor and have no jobs. Their only remaining connection to the outside world is the postman who delivers mails & brings in their supplies. He is a decent and easy-going guy but when his boat's motor is stolen, he gets a little fed up with the village people. And when his love interest leaves for town with her son, he too decides to go to the city, but his roots may be deeper than he thought!

Mr. Konchalovskiy has captured the essence of this wonderful community on the verge of extinction. Hopefully, this movie would have brought the attention of the authorities to the plight of the people living in this beautiful but abandoned land.

The cinematography & the sparse background score is to die for!
