New Year’s Eve. Two friends steal a third man’s body from the mortuary to give him the burial he requested in his will, but find themselves caught between life and death in a winter forest.
"I read Kostya Steshik’s play and immediately realised that this is a film about eternal friendship, one that needs to be made by clinging to that eternity as if it were something unshakeable, yet elusive, melting in warm palms like snowflakes. It is a sombre story set against the snow-white backdrop of forest landscapes — a story about transience: we forget that life can slip away or come to an abrupt end at any moment. But that makes love, respect and friendship all the more precious." Semyon SERZIN
