Synopsis:  SILENT SOULS (Ovsyanki) is the lyrical, dreamlike feature from Russian director Aleksei Fedorchenko. When Miron's beloved wife Tanya passes away, he asks his best friend Aist to help him say goodbye to her according to the pagan rituals of the Merja, an ancient people from western Russia whose customs live on in modern day. As the two men travel on a cross-country journey, Miron shares intimate memories of his conjugal life, as is custom for the Merja. But as they reach the banks of the sacred lake where they will forever part with the body, he realizes he wasn't the only one in love with Tanya…
