In remote Siberia, the small village of Matyoroy, which is situated on an island, has been singled out for flooding to make way for a hydroelectric dam. While some of the villagers leave quickly and are relocated to bleak urban housing, a few of the island's residents, most notably the wilderness-worshipping Darya (Stefaniya Stanyuta), refuse to go easily, resulting in dramatic moments where the beauty of nature meets the sheer force of modern progress.

Yasser Medina Cinefilia A rural drama from Klimov that acquires a very remarkable visual force in the atmospheric landscapes, but whose narrative gradually loses its emotional side in its predictable chronicle of injustice and peasant resistance.
