Synopsis

Jordan Tannahill reveals his ten-year-old self with this intimate piece about the make-believe world he retreated into during his childhood. Through the use of live storytelling and film, Tannahill uncovers the imaginary nation of Bravislovia, a fractured former Soviet republic on the Baltic Sea and its unsung hero, Isaac Nyakov, a fugitive poet who is resisting the tyranny of Bravislovia's oligarchic regime. A poetic and personal homage to the power of imagination.
