Score:
A week of vacation at the beach with the whole family! For Sam, it´s a week full of ruminating on life, death, and Tess. He´s haunted by the notion that his brother and his parents will all die someday, most likely before he does, seeing as he´s the youngest. So Sam resolves to prepare for the inevitable as best he can: with daily practice of being alone. It´s a bit unfortunate for him then to meet chaotic and fascinating Tess on the first day of his training as he´d much rather wander through the dunes with her. When she shares her well-kept secret with him, Sam´s world starts to wobble even more. In the summer heat of a Dutch holiday island, the two teenagers dare to ponder life´s biggest questions and come up with their very own answers.

Score:
The South Kamchatka Federal Sanctuary is often called a bear paradise. The LESFILM production team headed there and spent seven months observing and filming hidden secrets the newborn bear cubs' daily lives throughout their first year on Earth. 'Kamchatka Bears. Life Begins' is a movie that differs from the other nature documentary. The film is meditative. Music, the sounds of nature and the absence of a human voice allow the viewer to plunge into the beauty of wild nature as much as possible, to feel its presence among volcanoes, rivers and wild animals, and experience an important boundary, beyond which a person should not interfere.
