125 minutes
An inexperient meteorologist in a remote Arctic weather situation receives an urgent message for his older, gruffer colleague, but doesn't know how to break it to him. Technically accomplished suspense two-hander, hinging on a somewhat misjudged plot twist and insufficient scripting; still, the remarkable location-shot visuals, confident handling and strong performances go a way to redressing some of the balance.

(International distributor, Bavaria Film International.)
Starring Grigori Dobrygin, Sergei Puskepalis.
Directed and written by Alexei Popogrebsky; music by Dmitry Katkhanov; director of photography (colour, widescreen), Pavel Kostomarov; production designer, Gennady Popov; film editor, Ivan Lebedev.
Screened: Berlin Film Festival advance press screening, Cinemaxx 9 (Berlin), February 16th 2010.
