"The place where morning begins": the Kuril Islands is an incredible journey to the very edge of the world. There, nature astonishes with its primeval beauty, and the elements dictate the rules of life. Active volcanoes and bubbling thermal springs, vast ocean expanses, and dense forests filled with tropical plants create a breathtaking landscape. Every day here begins with a magnificent sunrise, and the locals are among the first in Russia to greet it. Viewers will travel to the most remarkable corners of the Kuril chain: from Iturup, with its volcanic beaches and snow-white cliffs where bears roam, to Kunashir, where magnolias bloom in the wild and the ocean shore is adorned with a stone organ of cooled lava. This film is not only about natural wonders but also about the people who call the Kurils home. They live in harmony with nature’s harshness, catch chum salmon, and prepare dishes from Far Eastern ferns. Their stories, traditions, and incredible resilience are truly inspiring. You will learn how the islands attract tourists, surfers, and scientists — and why those who visit once often dream of returning.
