A karakat is an unsinkable vehicle that every self-respecting resident of the Peipus shore assembles with his own hands. Originally intended to drive the owner to a fishing spot in the winter, today the karakat has become a unique “ice-taxi.” By observing several karakat-men’s routines a fascinating culture of old-believers and self-assembled hybrid vehicles in this part of Estonia is portrayed.

Director: Andrey M. Paounov
