Synopsis

Anton Ptushkin’s travel film to the Ukrainian Antarctic station “Akademik Vernadsky.” It’s a story about people who study the planet’s future while living in conditions without shops, trees, or personal space. The film explores the challenges of the icy continent and everyday life at the station, the importance of climate observations, and why Ukraine is among the few countries with a full-fledged presence in Antarctica. It’s a story about science, melting glaciers, and, of course, penguins.
