Plot summary

In the middle of the Siberian taiga, 450 miles from the nearest village, live two families : the Braguines and the Kilines. Not a single road leads there. A long trip on the Ienissei River, first by boat, then by helicopter, is the only way to reach Braguino. Self-sufficient, both families live there according to their own rules and principles. In the middle of the village: a barrier. The two families refuse to speak. In the river sits an island, where another community is being built : that of the children. Free, unpredictable, wild. Stemming from the fear of the other, that of wild beasts, and the joy procured by the immensity of the forest, unravels a cruel tale in which tensions and fear give shape to the geography of an ancestral conflict.

Very interesting.

An extremely hostile environment, the kids all happy and dressed in bright, clean clothes, a bare existence, but they are all very happy! I could have watched another hour.

The longest 49 minutes of your life

Not quite long enough to be a feature and perhaps too long to be a 'short', Clement Cogitore's film "Braguino" is more an ethnographic essay than a documentary. He filmed it in the wilderness of Eastern Siberia and it looks at the lives of two families living on opposite banks of a river but who don't get along. In the centre of the river is a small island where the families' children come and play, too young perhaps to understand the concept of 'feuds'. There is no narration; Cogitore lets his characters speak for themselves. It's a rare glimpse into a way of life that might have existed a few hundred years ago but which seems almost alien today. It only lasts 49 minutes but since almost nothing actually happens, (a bear is killed; the families square up to each other in a scene you think might will develop into something but doesn't), these could be the longest 49 minutes of your life.
