In his everyday life, Vasya Sonkin is a film scholar by education and a translator by profession. He is also a husband and a father of two. He finds himself in Istanbul, separated from his family and without any clear prospects. In these new circumstances, he transforms into Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost, russian Santa Claus) and sets off across Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Israel, and Kazakhstan, visiting children and adults to congratulate them on the holiday and help them come to terms with the passing year.

We Are Looking for You Everywhere is the result of a research project by the documentary studio Pole and director Sergey Karpov, dedicated to the feeling of home. Following Ded Moroz’s journey, the filmmakers search for answers to pressing questions of today: what is home? how do we define it? what are we searching for? where are we heading? how can we describe this current state of transition? and most importantly—does there still remain space for dreams and miracles?
