Vagyrgyn

"Vagyrgyn" in translation from Chukchi means both existence, life, and incident, event. In my travels around Chukotka, I tried to find answers to existential questions about life, death and love for the motherland. It is impossible to answer them using logic or other means of the mind, so I turn to the deeper layers of the psyche, which still remember tens of thousands of years without civilization. The author's friends are adventurers, hunters, vagabonds, and gold diggers. They will tell the viewer about their life themselves, through a series of "vagyrgyn", that is, events and incidents. Attention: the film contains profanity (purely for anthropological purposes).
