Plot synopsis
The film "Pomors" is not just about the current inhabitants of the Pomorie region, but tries to discover in the everyday life of these people the survivals of their historical past. Faith and work - this is what gives them the strength to stand firmly on their feet and continue to feel like Pomors despite the demands of urban civilization. The harsh nature of the far north, the vast deserted spaces, the professions connected with the sea and rivers as one of the main sources of livelihood - all this has created a unique way of life in Russia, a unique culture and even a special language that Lomonosov linked to the three Russian dialects. All this has shaped an unparalleled type of man, a specific "Pomor character", rooted in the land of the White Sea coast and self-sufficient by this very rooting.
