Bread Day

NEW DOCS

Sergei Dvortsevoy depicts the relentless daily life of a desolate and isolated hamlet in Kurdistan. From a distant fork on the main route, each Tuesday, the elderly population pushes an unmanned train car into the center of town to supply their daily bread. With a spare narrative drive, the filmmaker divulges the futility and necessity of the market in one’s life. An unusually unfettered approach.
