Plot synopsis
After the chaos of war, Alexei finds himself at home. In a world in which he seemed never to have existed: his children have managed to grow up, his wife has managed to alter his father's clothes for them, and the once familiar corners of his home seem too sharp. It would seem that one can get used to everything, but what if the frontline realities have distorted the proportions of peaceful life? And it is now almost impossible to fit into them. The film is based on the story of the same name by Andrei Platonov.
This is a film about a war that takes place after a battle and not on its field at all. The chaos of war deconstructs the concepts of peaceful life, and its end marks the onset of consequences. Its companion is time: those who wait lose or gain again. But what happens to those who return?
