Ironic parable.
In a village live a Russian, a German, a Tatar, a gipsy and a
Jew. One day an unknown person appears, who calls himself
the ëSurveyorí. After his appearance improbable things begin
to happen to each of the villagers. The heroesí paths part, but
after a while, on the eve of the new era of Aquarius, they
gather once again in this sacred place... Sergei Selyanovís film
is the final part of a trilogy by this widely esteemed
cinematographer. But after "Name Day" and "All Soulsí Day",
"The Time for Sorrow" seems like a smile of awakening
after a bad dream, like a transition to summertime after
winter twilight.
