THE POSTMAN’S WHITE NIGHTS

The film focuses on the lives of the inhabitants of a remote village. The only way the villagers can reach the mainland is by crossing the lake on a boat. Only a few people live there, and they all know each other well. Although a launch site using state-of-the-art technologies is located close by, the villagers live just the way their ancestors did for centuries. They only produce those things which are necessary for survival. A postman, a man loosely representing the local authorities and social services, is their only link to the outside world. A woman in the village, whom the postman is in love with, decides to run away from this life and move to the city. At the same time, the motor from the postman's boat goes missing. He can no longer deliver the mail, and his life and those of all the villagers are turned upside down. Following a conflict, he also decides to leave for the city, but he soon returns, although even he can't explain why. Maybe it's because he misses his slippers that he foolishly left at home ...
The script was based on real people: in the film the actual villagers play themselves. It took over a year to find the right person to take on the main role.
