Institute History
Description
An aging American returns to Russia, the birthplace from which he was taken as a baby. Fulfilling his father's wish he travels to a small remote Russian town in the middle of the wilderness, far from the conventional tourist routes, where his ancestors have been living for two centuries. Utilizing the services of two outsiders he hires for the trip, the expatriate embarks on the sentimental journey that reveals the real Russia "with all its extremes;" its mixture of high and low, beautiful and outrageous.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
