How I ended this summer - 2010 Russian film directed by Aleksey Popogrebskiy. On a desolate island in the Arctic Circle, two men
work at a small meteorological station, taking readings from their
radioactive surroundings. Sergei, a gruff professional in his fifties,
takes his job very seriously. His new partner, bright eyed college grad
Pavel, retreats to his MP3 player and video games to avoid Sergei's
imposing presence. One day while Sergei is out, inexperienced Pavel
receives terrible news for Sergei from HQ. Intimidated, Pavel can't
bring himself to disclose the information. When the truth is finally
revealed, the consequences explode against a chilling backdrop of thick
fog, sharp rocks, and the merciless Arctic Sea. Stars Grigoriy Dobrygin and Sergey Puskepalis. Unrated, in Russian with optional English subtitles, 130 minutes.
