Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Iceland, July 9, 2016. The surprising discovery of a canister —containing four reels of The Village Detective (Деревенский детектив), a 1969 Soviet film—, caught in the nets of an Icelandic trawler, is the first step in a fascinating journey through the artistic life of film and stage actor Mikhail Ivanovich Zharov (1899-1981), icon and star of an entire era of Russian cinema.

[AtlàntidaFF] More conventional than other films such as "Decasia" (2002), the director is interested in using old celluloid, degraded and erased in many parts, to establish his own cinematographic language, reflecting the deterioration of Russian society and of the actor Mikhail Zharov's own career. The degraded images cause a hypnotic sensation, but with less success than in "Dawson City: Frozen time" (2016).
