PIPELINE

PIPELINE is a film about modern Europe, about two of its edges, or to put it more precisely – two of its extremes. This is a film about Europe, which spans from the barren land of eternal winters of Siberia to the complaisant Bay of Biscay, where even the laws of nature form fundamentally different paradigms of human existence. What can possibly connect such ostensibly different lives? Tangibly, it does so through the pipeline 'Western Siberia – Western Europe'. The pipeline has, however, not only connected but also inextricably merged 'this' Russia with 'that' Europe.
