SYNOPSIS
There's an island in the Southern Ocean off the coast of Antarctica. No one knows about it apart
from the polar explorers who spend winter there. And their relatives.
Thesarcophagusesare situated right on the rocks. These are people who aren’t mentioned on the
pages of geography textbooks. But without them it would be impossible to explore Antarctica.
More than 60 years have passed since the first burial. During this time, the cemetery has never
been renovated. Our team of 8 people went to Antarctica to complete this task for the first time.
This film is about the price that people have to pay for the opportunity to look beyond the
horizon and explore the unknown.
