With Bayarta Dambayev, Aleksandr Sasykov, Doskhan Zholzhaksynov, Tokon Daiyrbekov and А. Кавозг

The small northern indigenous people, the Nivkhs, live on the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk. Every day, they face a harsh struggle for survival, while their lives are filled with everyday routines, customs, hunting, celebrations, death, and birth. Against this backdrop unfolds the story of a ten-year-old boy who, together with his grandfather, father, and uncle, goes on his first seal-hunting expedition. However, misfortune awaits the hunters as a fog descends over the sea, obscuring their view of the shore.
