A female healer lives in the vast, snowy expanse of the Sakha Republic in Russia. She is ostracised by the local population, but when push comes to shove they avail themselves of her supernatural powers. Sakha director Dmitry Davydov, a rising star internationally, has built an intriguing drama with horror genre elements on the basis of this icy story about a social outcast.
