Fateicz and the Sea
Russia, Poland, Finland | 2019 | documentary | 76 min. Panorama of the Polish documentaries
The Peter the Great Gulf in the Sea of Japan has no secrets for the film protagonist. Despite his old age, Fateicz runs a seafood farm and delivers the dishes made of his produce to the passengers of luxury yachts. He is relentless in his struggle with local poachers who regularly steal from his underwater farms. The film is a portrait of an old sea dog who, apart from his everyday grind, needs to deal with lawlessness and the arrogance of the authorities. Although he has a quick temper, he does not stop delighting in the beauty of nature and, just like Hemingway’s heroes, feels the best when at sea.
