Braguino

In the remote Siberian taiga, 450 miles from the nearest village, the Braguine and Kiline families lead a life defined by their own rules. Their isolation is profound, with no roads connecting them to the outside world. Accessing Braguino requires a long journey along the Ienissei River, first by boat and then by helicopter.

The documentary highlights the stark contrasts between the families, who maintain a barrier that prevents communication. In the midst of their conflict, an island in the river serves as a sanctuary for children, symbolizing freedom and unpredictability. The film captures the complex interplay of fear and joy that shapes their existence in this vast and untamed landscape. Braguino presents a compelling narrative of ancestral conflict and survival in one of the world’s most remote locations.
