Product Description
Somewhere in Northern Russia in a small Russian Orthodox monastery lives a very unusual man. His fellow-monks are confused by his bizarre conduct. Those who visit the island believe that the man has the power to heal, exorcise demons and foretell the future. However, he considers himself unworthy because of a sin he committed in his youth. The film is a parable, combining the realities of Russian everyday life with monastic ritual and routine.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Almost a sinful pleasure is Andrey Zhegalov's striking widescreen cinematography...the unusual northern landscape yields to the austerity of drained monochromes lit by dazzling skies. --Deborah Young, Variety
