Overview
A group of pilgrims lie down on the thin ice of the lake Svetloyar and begin to look for the city of Kitesh. According to the legend, God saved the city from the Mongolian prince Batyi's soldiers by letting it sink to the bottom of the lake. If you listen carefully you can hear the bells of the Kitesh cathedral toll deep down.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hypnotic documentary that positions pilgrims listening for phantom bells beneath ice-covered water as a meditation on belief, legend, and the human need to hear the sacred in silence. It feels less like conventional filmmaking and more like a ritual itself.
