Naturalism and the supernatural mingle in each of the five short stories that make up this film.
Thus, in a small Russian village, we meet a cowherd, more concerned with his bottle than
his cows, two little old ladies who go bickering to a mysterious meeting…
The truculence of the characters and the beauty of the images are a declaration of love from the director
to the Russian characters and landscape.
A first film never shown in France.
