This is a movie about people who miraculously survived after one of the most horrible floods of the past decade. The tragedy in Crimsk happened in the evening of July 6 and the morning of July 7. I never planned to go to Crimsk and make a movie about someone else’s grief. I have never been a politically active person. I just chanced to be there a month after the tragedy, talked to people, to victims and witnesses, saw and felt the scope of the tragedy and realized that I should record it.
