Romantic drama.
…Late in autumn a new teacher
Bilar Bolatovich and a new pupil Alan
arrive at a boarding school situated
in the mountains of Osetia. Their
arrival disrupts the usual course of
events. The boarding school is getting
ready to celebrate its anniversary,
but it transpires that the local
authorities intend to pull it down. The
director of the boarding school does
everything in his power to oppose
the authorities. It is a movie about
the life of a God-forsaken mountainous
place, about the fears, pains,
bewilderment of its inhabitants,
whose only trust is that the letters,
that a half-blind pupil of the boarding
school writes to God, will reach
him.
