Antarctica - what is it, where is it?
When life presents photographer Grigory Yaroshenko with a chance to get there and get acquainted with the life of polar explorers, he has no choice. It's like going to the moon.
Would anyone refuse?
But his wife is expecting a second child, and then his life turns completely upside down. The film “The Last Mainland” is about male self-identification in modern society, about the ability of men and women to accept new challenges, maintain and change their gender roles in the family.
Many films have been made about Antarctica. But "The Last Continent" is a personal Antarctica. A personal continent. It's a deeply personal story about the role of men in modern society, and how that role can suddenly change.
