A fragmented, poetic meditation on mortality, memory, and Soviet history told through a dying man's dreamlike recollections, blending personal and national trauma into an experimental, nonlinear tapestry.
A dying man in his forties recalls his childhood, his mother, the war and personal moments that tell of and juxtapose pivotal moments in Soviet history with daily life.
