When a middle-aged high-court judge in 19th-century Russia starts to experience a sharp pain in his side, he soon finds himself bedridden with an undiagnosed terminal illness. Face-to-face with his own mortality, he becomes increasingly introspective and emotional as he ponders the reason for his acute suffering and imminent death.
Directed by Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy
