Description: A film of startling originality and beauty.” The New York Times
An elderly woman visits her grandson, a young officer stationed at a remote military outpost in Chechnya. With the enemy just beyond the compound, she wanders the barracks, observing the routine of military life, before making a sudden trip to the outlying countryside. A viscerally powerful examination of the cost of war, the film from the director of Russian Ark, features a mesmerizing performance by Russian opera legend Galina Vishnevskaya. (Aleksandr Sokurov, 2007, 95 min.)
