Possibly the strangest prison movie ever. It's not about the Gulag, it's not about human rights, it's not even about crime. It’s more than that. This is a philosophical film about the mystery of a man. About the inseparable connection between the sinners and the righteous: the murderer, the former prosecutor Vyacheslav Sharaevsky, and his intercessor, the rector of the church of Cosmas and Damian in Moscow, father Alexandr Borisov.
