Arctic Limbo

Three Russian weathermen spend a year away from civilization

At the end of the earth, there’s a lonely weather station on the shores of the freezing Barents Sea. It is staffed by three people, each working a year-long work shift.  They are waiting for a ship – their only connection to the mainland. Until it comes, they must try and stay sane.
