Plot synopsis
The world is more complex than we think it is. Alexandre Gordon's film transgresses, shatters certain dominant stereotypes. Freedom is not the miracle cure for unhappiness. Nature may not be a mother, but a stepmother ...
The main character, Kolka, leaves the capital to settle in the countryside. But that will not make his life better: his fiancée leaves him, his father dies, his sister succumbs to drinking, his mother falls ill. Even the cows he leads to pasture cease to obey him. And besides, the locals have negative judgments about Kolka…
