Froth depicts the customs and everyday life on the coast of the Barents Sea, focusing on three ordinary people. Bardak is an old sea dog who retired to lead a hard life in a remote abandoned village. Sasha and his team of self-taught divers raise World War II shipwrecks, which is considered to be impossible by experts. Young reckless poacher Dima “Catastrophe” evades capture and reads his daughter a fairy-tale all in one evening. The characters share an incredible blend of humility, inherent rebelliousness, a specific moral code and attitude to life. Only on these severe seashores can they find peace as they hustle through the days and the waves making froth.
