DOCUMENTARY FILM "A SHORT TUTORIAL ON RAISING SEALS" 6+

Amazing events occur in St. Petersburg. Seal pups have been spotted right on the banks of the Neva River. At one time, it was believed that Baltic ringed seals were completely extinct. The creators of the "Seal Rescue Center," Vyacheslav and Elena, never imagined that one day, in addition to their little daughter, they would have a "child with flippers." The strange seal Kroshik was twice released into the wild, like hundreds of other rescued pups, but he resolutely did not want to part with people.

Analyzing the sounds led to the conclusion that they are definitively made by a whale, but who it is and what kind of special animal this is remains a mystery.

FIVE FEET APART 18+
