A teenager's attempt to hold on to his mother ends in tragedy—now their relationship feels more like a death sentence than love. This is a story about blindness that begins long before darkness, and about trying to find a way to "move on," even when it seems there's no "move on."
Having gone through the chaos of war, Alexey finds himself at home. In a world where it was as if he had never existed: his children had managed to grow up, his wife had managed to alter their father's clothes for them, and the once familiar corners of his home hut seemed too sharp. It would seem that one could get used to everything, but what if the frontline realities had distorted the proportions of peaceful life? And it was now practically impossible to fit into them. The film was based on the story of the same name by Andrei Platonov.
