The Gulls

In the stark, windswept landscape of modern-day Kalmykia, a young woman's life is forever changed by a single act of desperation and loss. When her husband, a fisherman, vanishes at sea, Elza is left alone to face an unplanned pregnancy and the suffocating traditions of her small town. As she navigates this treacherous new world, seagulls become a haunting symbol of her husband's absence, while Elza herself becomes increasingly isolated, forging a path between past and present that will forever alter her destiny.
