Two disparate people come together in this odd-ball Russian-French black comedy. Seryozha, an ex-convict and Vera, a middle-aged introvert, come together after he steals her purse. They end up on the lam after Seryozha stabs a hostel worker. They end up in an empty village and soon discovered they are in the midst of an area contaminated by radiation. Three bandits also come through and Seryozha puts them into the village hoosegow and proceeds to torture them. When they become allies, he releases them. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
