Description:

An animated documentary about the tragedy of the Aral Sea, which in the 1960s was the fourth largest lake in the world. Today its southern part is almost completely dried up, as a result of the Soviet government’s plundering economic policies. In the film we visit the residents of the town of Mujnak – once the most important port in the region, now dozens of kilometers from the shoreline. A film about the consequences of human decisions and actions, and how they can affect the daily life of one Uzbek town and its residents.

 

The film has received funding from the Lodz Film Fund in 2019.
