In the life of poet Osip Mandelstam, the Perm Region plays an especially tragically role. On June 3, 1934 Mandelstam was exiled to Cherdyn, a small town in the Urals, for a poem he wrote the previous year: We Live Without Sensing The Country Beneath Us. After two weeks in Cherdyn, he continued to Voronezh, but Cherdyn left an indelible mark on the poet’s work. The film is a psychological reconstruction of the exile of Mandelstam – the poet banished under the administrative number “1044”.
