While I probably should have watched this in the summer as I got really cold during the winter scenes, this was a fantastic flick. (-33 was a warm day!) Werner Herzog co-directed and co-wrote it. Plus he does the narration. It's a look at life in a small Siberian village where trapping and fishing are how one earns a living/feeds one's family. The focus, however, is on the men who trap during the harsh winters. They're away from family for months on end, out in the taiga working hard everyday with only their loyal hounds and Mother Nature for company. The village may be remote but you still catch sight of a Pokémon shirt.
