TRILLION Norway-USA, 2025, 80 min, black and white, documentary

A woman walks over jagged, weather-beaten rocks by the sea. She is barefoot, wearing a simple white dress. The wind blows unchecked, her face hidden beneath the brim of a floppy hat. She walks and walks, resolute. Sometimes she carries a large jute bag. What is happening here? From this simple starting point, filmed in black-and-white, filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky crafts an unforgettable story—minimalist with maximum impact.

The camera captures the play of light, the textures, and the rhythms of the landscape—in its impressive grandeur and its smallest, most miraculous details. The superb soundtrack of atmospheric and natural sounds is complemented by gorgeous compositions for strings and piano.

Viktor Kossakovsky is a Russian documentary filmmaker and one of the most original and influential voices in contemporary documentary cinema.

(2011), Aquarela (2018), and Gunda (2020), the latter shot entirely in black and white and without commentary, serving as a meditation on life, nature, and the relationship between humans and animals.
