Shot on grainy black and white film Okraina pays tribute to the classic Soviet cinema, but it is a tale about the modern Russia. Ural farmers set on a journey to find out who stole their land. Their investigation proved to be incendiary enough for the Russian authorities to severely limit the film distribution. Russian cinema often talks about injustices endured by common people who usually end up being crushed by the oppression, Okraina however tells a different story.
