Mikhail Birbrayer

A young boy grapples with first love and his ambitions as a drummer during an eventful summer holiday.

He considered his family life perfect. Normal, and sometimes big wages quite satisfied a beautiful and gentle wife. The child didn't cause much trouble. All that was needed for his happiness was available. But the wife is gone. She left not to another, but left, so as not to be unhappy.

An adaptation of Jesus' life, the film mixes real and imaginary characters, biblical and historical references, to present two worlds condemned to coexist.

A group of Swedish tourists are on the way to a Russian village to witness the so called 'Festivity of Neptunus', in which the inhabitants take a dive in a hole in the ice. This tradition, however, does not exist at all. The inhabitants try to make a good impression by starting the 'tradition' to please the tourists.
