Vampalaš

The film is dedicated to the Nart epic, which is based on tales of the origin and adventures of heroic heroes (Narts), common among a number of peoples of the North Caucasus. Occupying a prominent place in the culture of the Ingush, it is closely associated with various Ingush families and societies that associate their origin with the Nart heroes. After the adoption of Islam, the Narts lost their divine significance, but the tales and legends about them have forever remained in the people's memory. The video essay conveys the state captured during the expedition to Ingushetia. The giants "went into editing", the past was lost in the new religion. The flow of time carries the tales into oblivion, leaving only scraps of phrases and information that have settled in the locals.
