SONGS OF DUOLAN

Sakhamin Trofimov

FR/GE , 2024, 21 Min

Far from home: In order to escape mobilisation, Duolan left Russia for Georgia, wherehe now works as a sushi chef. And yet he longs for the mountains, lakes, food, and songs of Yakutia, where his family still lives and where he sees his future. In old VHS recordings, we see his distant childhood, and in the present, a vibrant Yakut diaspora.
