The Impossible Line
A geneticist who trusts evidence encounters a past that refuses to stay behind glass.
Meet Dr. Anna Mikhailovna Sokolova. Between a museum's quiet galleries and the rain-soaked rooms of colonial Virginia, the familiar begins to shift.
Film description: Anna stands between a modern museum overlooking a rain-soaked city and a candlelit colonial room. She looks around, reaches toward a coin on the wooden table, lifts it, and studies it. Instrumental music and footsteps accompany the scene.
An original Russian folk inspired instrumental led by balalaika, with soft cello and strings. The film includes music and footsteps. You can also listen to the full instrumental separately.
