Story: A Soviet film from 1969 is found in an Icelandic fishermans net, and the filmography of its leading actor offers a portal into a history that has endured on celluloid.

In July 2016, four reels of "Derevensky Detektiv", a 1969 Russian film starring the Soviet-era character actor Mikhail Zharov (1899-1981), were found in a fishermans net trawling the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, 20 miles off the Icelandic coast. The recovered footage is combined with original music by David Lang, and interwoven with interviews and clips from Zharovs lengthy filmography to form a song cycle, reflecting how life, history, and art intersect and endure on celluloid.
