 Siberia - For most people the very word conjures up bleak images of wind-swept frozen tundra and a dreary existence best endured indoors. Few would ever picture it as a land decorated by lush forests, crystal clear lakes and sun-bronzed lads romping in the buff. So when the short summer does arrive, the Siberian people embrace it warmly, and no more so than the handsome young boys of Vadim s Story. From its intriguing shots of foggy mountains and quaint old wooden houses, you know you re not in America. With the first glimpse of eighteen-year-old Vadim as he awakens to a spectacular sunny day - you may just think you re in heaven. Vadim is the central star of this simple slice-of-life tale and his ability to cast a seductive spell over the viewer is magical. He shares his morning shower with us and introduces us to his little brother and their new-found puppy. Then he s off to join more than a dozen other teenage hopefuls at an audition for an American video production. Finally, Vadim makes his way to glistening Lake Arakhlei - where he joins his closest comrade, Andrey, for a holiday of intimate adolescent play and naturism. In these exquisitely photographed scenes we are treated to a stunning symphony of skin, sand and sun that resonates with a subtle nuance of eroticism that will leave you breathless and wanting more.
