Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film traces the story of one of the mightiest Soviet warships and its crew after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The aircraft carrier 'Kiev,' once the pride of the Soviet navy, was decommissioned in 1994, and then set out on its last voyage, to become a tourist attraction in China. The director followed the 'Kiev' for more than five years, focusing on the changes in the lives of those who served aboard her since 1972. 'Kiev' has long since existed only in memory: a ghost ship, which sails on through the dreams of her former crew. Piecing together interviews with sailors, archive footage of the Kiev in action, and episodes from her final journey, down around Norway and Africa to her eventual resting-place, the film presents a multifaceted portrait of uneasy adaptations to the new realities.
