For his new documentary, Victor Kossakovsky leads us through a singular voyage around the globe: into the few places of the world located precisely one opposite the other. With particularly effective editing, Kossakovsky addresses the unusual theme of antipodes, creating “a poem about a multipolar world”. The story is set in four pairs of places opposite each other on the globe: Argentina-China, Chile-Russia, Hawaii-Botswana, New Zealand-Spain. It concerns a solitary fisherman in a village in Argentina and a woman who sells fish in a noisy street in Shanghai, about the guardian in a Chilean lighthouse in Cape Horn and a ship’s officer on Lake Baikal; and so on. Their stories are both antithetical and similar at the same time.
