Two men fall in love in a run-down town of Siberia, Russia.
Meek farmhand Sasha and policeman Dima have a fraught relationship. They’re brothers-in-law, travel companions, and—secretly—lovers. Over the course of their journey to visit Sasha’s grandmother, unspoken truths are uttered, intimacy is built, and authenticity is challenged. Although they may be far from the peering eyes of their oppressive society, their relationship teeters on a dangerous precipice.

[Zinegoak] Repressive societies provoke a feeling of suffocation that is also transferred to their cultural representation. This Russian film delves into that position, where repressed homosexuality can only end in tragedy. It is a brave film, on the one hand, but anachronistic on the other hand. A hopeless vision of the relationship between two men, who only finds peace in the contemplation of those Siberian landscapes that in the end are the only escape. The director and protagonist alternates the wide lens of the landscapes with the almost epidermal approach, which sometimes causes blurring, the blurred vision of what is prohibited. But somehow these victimizing proposals end up fueling the repression.
