Chants des mers du sud (Pesni Juzhnykh Morej) est un film kirghiz réalisé par Marat Sarulu, sorti en 2009.

Synopsis

Ivan et sa femme Anna sont russes, Assan et sa femme sont kazakhs. Ils sont voisins dans un petit village du Kazakhstan. Quand Anna donne naissance à un enfant brun aux yeux quelque peu bridés, Ivan la suspecte de l'avoir trompé avec Assan. Le soupçon empoisonne la vie de ces deux couples pendant des années. Ivan est méprisé par la famille d'Anna, de vrais Cosaques. Assan et Ivan disparaissent : l'un va dans les steppes, l'autre chez son grand-père qui pourra lui raconter l'histoire familiale. Ils reviendront de ce voyage après avoir entendu les chants des mers du sud leur apporter l'apaisement. Dans une région de brassage et de contacts, ce sont des histoires bien plus profondes et anciennes qui expliquent les apparences.

The film revolves around the life of two couples: Ivan and his wife Mariia who are Russians; and Asaan and his wife who are Kazakh. Both families are living in camaraderie in a village in Great Steppe in Kazakhstan till a twist occurs in their lives. Maria gets pregnant and gives birth to a baby boy with dark complexion. Seeing the new-born's skin color, Ivan becomes suspicious and feels Maria has an affair with Asaan, who has similar complexion. After some time, Asaan's wife also becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child with ginger-color complexion, which is similar to Ivan's complexion. This causes a rift between the two families that lasts 15 years and then takes a fateful turn. The young son of Asaan left his school studies and starts wandering around on his horse, gets into trouble with horse riders of Kyrgyz for stealing their cattle. His brother-in-law, a Cossack, also thrashes him for his lack of knowledge of his genealogy. Ivan, feeling rootless, meets his grandfather, who tells him about his family's multinational background. During this time Asaan is also in search of his distinct personality and sitting on the steppe, broods about a “woman of the southern seas” who could give him peace of mind. The film is set around the Lake Issyk-kul in Kyrgyzstan.
