Pavla is an 80-year-old widow living in the only house still standing in the village Porozhki. Her daughter and granddaughter come on weekends to clean and bring food; on other days truck drivers stop by. The café up the road closed, the truckers had no place to eat and rest, and Pavla’s late husband came to her in a dream and told her to open her home. He also told her to get a pig.

Yusup Razykov presents an intimate, deceptively simple drama about love and loneliness.
