Western Ukraine, on the eve of a traditional carnival. Pamfir returns to his family after months of absence. Their love is so unconditional that when his only child starts a fire in the prayer house, Pamfir has no other choice but to reconnect with his troubled past to repair his son’s fault. He will be taken on a risky path with irreversible consequences.

«Ein kleines Filmbijou. Dies dank den ethnisch-kulturellen Besonderheiten aus der Gegend, in der der Film spielt, einem kräftigen Mannsbild von einem Hauptdarsteller und einer Kameraführung, die ausgeklügelt die Bedrohung der Situation seiner Protagonisten widerspiegelt.» Outnow, Roland Meier
«Un drame viruose, à la croisée du mythe et du polar.» Télérama
