happens mostly in Kostroma region, although we recognised one place near the end, a new pedestrian bridge in Nizhniy Novgorod. It's a road movie, and crosses a number of impressive bridges. The river Volga is the main focus of contemplation, about loss of individual people and of cultural roots (The characters feel they belong to the Merya people).....but with love and friendship still preserved. If I remember rightly the last words were "only love remains". This film is called Silent Souls in English and did very well in the Venice Film Festival.
