The Arrow of Seven Flames
For centuries Ugro-Finn and Slavic peoples have been living on the land of Perm and Vyatka. What is the present of the descendants of these ancient cultures? How do they identify themselves – are they Permyaks or Russians? How do their mutual relations develop? What do they believe in? How to enter the world of contemporary Russian village? How to hold the impressions one gets in a multiple conversations and how to preserve the essence of this wonderful world? Members of the expedition of Russian Academy of Sciences made their studies in a year of 2005 in the Afanasyevo region of Kirov district in the Ilushi village and around. Dozens of hours of video and audio recordings not only allow researchers to return to the passed time, but they are also a source of important information. This effort was made by the authors of the film.
