Astrakan 79

Astrakhan is the Russian city, 1979 the year remembered. A year and a half and a journey covering many kilometers, from Moscow to the Caspian Sea, to Azerbaijan. The beginning of the voyage is the search for a haven. Martim’s parents, who was 15 years old then, are militants of the Communist Party and see the Soviet Union as an ideal to aspire to. At the age of 57, Martim recalls his clandestine life, the studies and passions left behind and the ideal lost to time.
