He took his mother, a 72-year-old garrulous woman with whom he had not shared a train carriage since 1977. And a film crew. Their objective was to make a documentary for SBS about their return to the family's ancestral town, aiming to acquaint themselves with their Russian family members and perhaps discover the truth about a missing relative... Sandman in Siberia documents their multiple travails: the cold, the many arguments, the litre bottles of gin \u0026amp; tonic, the hangovers, the hot springs, the near-kidnapping by incoherently drunk Siberians, the appearance on Russian TV and more. Steve and his mother reunite with the long-lost Nicolai and the encounter is emotional, unsettling and moving. A funny, raw and honest view of family, adventure and forever fumbling attempts to make sense of difficult experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steve Abbott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49597288841472,"sku":"9780733314803","price":795.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/2636\/0064\/files\/9780733314803.jpg?v=1788006083","url":"https:\/\/tbkandmore.com\/products\/sandman-in-siberia-steve-and-his-mum-find-out-what-they-re-not-looking-for-by-steve-abbott","provider":"TBK \u0026 More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
