British distributors New Wave Films are set to release on Blu-ray Russian director Aleksei Popogrebsky's How I Ended This Summer (2010), starring Grigory Dobrygin and Sergei Puskepalis. Last year, the film won two Silver Bear Awards at the Berlin International Film Festival - Best Actor (Grigory Dobrygin and Sergei Puskepalis) & Outstanding Artistic Contribution (DoP Pavel Kostomarov).
A polar station on a desolate island in the Arctic Ocean - Sergei, a seasoned meteorologist, and Pavel, a recent college graduate, are spending months in complete isolation on the once strategic research base. Pavel receives an important radio message and is still trying to find the right moment to tell Sergei, but his innate fear of the older man prevents him passing on the message. From this deception, lies and suspicions start poisoning the atmosphere that leads to a suspense-filled climax .
Street date for How I Ended This Summer is September 12th.
