Beyond the Steppes

Belgium/Poland, 2010


Beyond the Steppes tells the story of a woman’s forced journey to the steppes of Central Asia. In 1940, Nina, a young Polish woman, is deported with her baby by the Soviet Army to the remote and inhospitable lands of the USSR. She has to work in a Sovkhoz guarded by the Russian political police. When her child becomes ill, she sets out on a search of medications with a group of Kazakh nomads. The film draws the intimate and personal experience of this woman, forced into exile, in her struggle against the extreme conditions of this inhuman land.
