About

The Sun is an impulse to imagine an elusive but visible future: just a glimpse and a return. What are the sun eaters trying to tell? Are they a type of protohuman or maybe superhuman that mutated in a post-apocalyptic future? An extraterrestrial myth? Or perhaps a metaphor for the ethnic minority of the Crimean Tatars, the original inhabitants of Crimea, who were deported by the russian empire? Is the biographical story, embedded in the film, true? And how crucial is it, after all? Time erosion eats away memories and, destroying, creates new, half-fictional ones. Can you trust your memory if it is so selective?
