Directing
The heroes of the film suffer from misunderstanding and lack of parental love. Nikita has everything, he is not afraid of anything, if anything - dad will cover. But he has no dream. Sasha - on the contrary, is ready to do anything to earn his dream - an expensive car. The parents of both do not understand what is missing, and what does not suit these "new adults". The plot of the film will bring together such different people, and the principle of Talion will tell us about "retribution to equals".
The plot tells of several civilians captured by the Ukrainian side and locked in an Orthodox church. The Ukrainian Armed Forces plan to use this point as a trap to close the cauldron for the Russian army, and to use the civilians as a human shield. Having learned about this, the heroes develop their own plan, ready to die, but not to allow the implementation of the plans of the Ukrainian nationalists.
In modern Romania, there is an old Russian village with the Turkish name of Sariköy. For over 300 years, Russian Old Believers have lived there, whose ancestors once fled Russia to save their faith from the new church reform of Patriarch Nikon in the second half of the 17th century. How do these people manage to preserve the Russian spirit in themselves for so many centuries, far from Russia? What do they consider their homeland: the country where they were born, or the one that is in each person’s soul? And what is a homeland? Residents of the village of Sariköy reflect on these and other topics.
They love each other. And they have the right to do so.
