While the Wind Blows

The first feature film made in the Republic of Saha is a visually impressive version of the story of Beauty and the Beast set in the wilds of Russia. A mysterious storyteller is staying overnight at the house of the Moyo family, when Aiyyna, the beautiful daughter of the family, is suddenly seized by a freak hermit. The experience changes Aiyyna's life, but the fiery search party of the bridegroom is already on the way. Not for the chicken-hearted. (Skábmagovat-elokuvajuhla)
