Elegiac and seductive, Belomor is the frontier where truth and invention meet - where fragments from distant lives intermingle and cohere. A man seeks out the father figure who shaped his picture of the past. A painter seeks redemption after the disasters of his years in northern Australia. A student of history travels into the depths of religion to escape the demons in his mind.

A filmmaker seeks out freedom and open space, and looks into the murk and sediment of herself. Four lives, separate, yet interwoven as the entrancing narrative unfolds.
