L'Amiral Tchoumakov
Laurier Fourniau & Arnaud Alberola
2021, France, Belgium, 64 min
In the northeast of Kyrgyzstan, perched in high mountains, Lake Issyk Kul is one of the five deepest lakes in the world. On its shores, dark constructions of cement and steel meddle with olds wrecks. It is the port of Balyktchy, abandoned for years and slowly starting its conversion into a resort.Here we find the pride of the Soviet navy: Boris Vassilievitch Chumakov. A joyful, restless, yet terribly melancholic figure, Admiral reveals himself to be some sort of an allegory of what remains of a Soviet man 30 years after the fall of the USSR.
