    the goose in dust
    It seems a parable. A man too close by his death. A woman telling to him a tale. And a solution, ecentric at the first sigh, painfull and degradating at whole, but the only option. Siberian atmosphere, admirable acting - especially Evgeny Tsiganov, wise use of silence and fresco of a very tough way. In essence a magic - Christian story about the solution against fate and the others.
