Drama. Mitya, a young doctor, lives and practices medicine in the middle of the steppe. Although it appears barren, patients frequently arrive at his home-office – one man’s heart has stopped beating from heavy drinking, another’s cow is dying, a young couple are bleeding to death from stab wounds. A local policeman, the only government authority in this vast region, is also a frequent visitor to the doctor. Mitya’s fiancee comes to visit him too, but as it turns out, it’s not for long. All the while Mitya senses something disturbing lurking nearby, a force that ultimately makes an attempt on the doctor’s life. The wild field sees him off, but maybe it is not to die.

International Premiere at the 65th Venice International Film Festival
