Synopsis: When his father dies, an unnamed Russian man (Piotr Alexandrov) returns to his remote Siberian village to bury him. As he goes through the solitary and difficult process of making funeral arrangements and cleaning his father's body, he confronts the increasingly apathetic and materialistic nature of society, as a busy undertaker urges him to cremate his father instead of burying him. While the young man explores society's cold treatment of mortality, he also struggles with his grief.
