When reformed smuggler Pamfir returns home to his village on the Ukrainian border after working abroad for several years, he’s determined to earn an honest living and set a good example for his beloved teenage son Nazar. But in a town where corruption runs deep and crime and religion are inextricably linked, his plan is quickly thwarted when Nazar sets fire to the local church in a misguided effort to keep his father at home. To pay for the damage, Pamfir must take on one last job for a crime syndicate operating a risky smuggling venture in a place where all the rules have changed. (Conic Films)

A social drama set on the Ukrainian-Romanian border with a hint of crime as it tells the story of smugglers. The protagonist carries it on his shoulders as much as he can, but I didn't find the development of the story entirely convincing (especially the moments immediately leading to the final tragedy are downright random). The craftsmanship and performances make it a solid festival filler, but nothing that will stick in your memory. (56th KVIFF)
