Episode 1
4 Extra Debut. A multi-layered, magical, modern story of love and fate for Patya and Marat. Set in Russia's Dagestan. With Aimee-Ffion Edwards.
Both Patya and Marat are young, successful and live in Moscow.
They have made it: they were able to escape the Caucasian back country that is still stuck between tradition and modernity, as well as police brutality, corruption and Islamist terror.
Patya and Marat don't know one another, but when they both return to their home village one summer, their story unfolds.
Contemporary Russian author, Alisa Ganieva's tragi-comic love story about family expectations, religious and cultural tensions, amid power struggles in rural Dagestan.
Dramatised in two-parts by Bethan Roberts from the translation by Dr Carol Apollonio.
