Until Komi Republic was not christianizated, for thousands of years, sacred Parma forest was one and only God in Komi people's life. People were afraid of and respected the sacred forest. Forest gave them food and fur, but sometimes taking their lives. Echoes of beliefs of Komi people and their veneration of nature you can see in our expedition film about legends, myths and stories of Komi villages. We tried to bring an old and untold stories to screen in modern style.
