The Postman's White Nights

Gentle vignettes from a remote northern Russian village on the shores of Lake Kenozero tell the story of its postman, who is the village's only lifeline to the outside world. In the shadow of the nearby spaceport, the villagers live off their pensions and become addicted to vodka under the yoke of the mayoress. When the postman Aleksey's outboard motor is stolen, the village is cut off from the outside world.
