Songs of Pomorie is a compelling documentary that masterfully weaves together the rich tapestry of northern songs, the history of the Pomorie region and its natural beauty. This film takes you on a journey to a world where the sea's constant murmur provides a timeless soundtrack, where songs flow as pure and cold as the local waters, and where the austere northern beauty is reflected in the character of the Pomors.
Drawing on the findings from ethnographic expeditions to villages in the Arkhangelsk region, insightful commentary from researchers, personal stories from local residents, and the songs themselves, the film explores three key historical layers of Pomorie. It delves into the present-day lives of modern Pomors, who either uphold or gradually lose their cultural traditions, revisits the distant past filled with myths, stories, songs, and fairy tales, and reflects on the 20th century, a period marked by significant trials and transformations.
