📹From the mountains and steppes to the tundra; from cities to remote villages—what do Russian weddings look like? Why was it once common to abduct the bride at traditional Russian weddings? Why does one see a growing interest in reviving ancient wedding customs today? And what meaning do the most puzzling traditions convey?

In the documentary, director Natalya Kadyrova spent nearly a year exploring weddings across seven Russian regions, from the Caucasus to Chukotka, one of the world's northernmost inhabited areas. Discover the diverse wedding rituals and learn why couples are reviving nearly forgotten traditions. And while you're at it, try to figure out what lies behind the rituals that people unconsciously reproduce.
