There's only one review at time of writing, telling all the story with major spoilers and no warning. Otherwise very little information on IMDB. Here's my brief take.
It's all about one character, an old woman living alone in rural Russia and the performance (probably by Elena Susanina) is outstanding - I'd say Oscar-worthy, given some of the folk who win those nowadays.
There's no feel-good here. It's very sad in places and I found it a difficult watch, but everything around that main character is competently done, and it's well worth watching for a reminder that there is still some great acting out there and, I imagine, for an authentic glimpse of harsh modern life in rural Russia.
