It's a movie about a veterinarian named Egor, who takes care for foxes who lives in cages. As the story unfolds, he as a human cannot survive human interactions outside strictly organized and controlled environment.
When Egor suddenly has a call about his passed away mother, later in the movie viewers can guess that he has some kind of trauma and he cannot form an intimate relationship with a woman in a farm (Dasha).
Movie starts to have tensions when young animal activists appear near the farm.
However, there is no right side in the movie - both did wrong and cruel - the young activists who freed the foxes who soon died in the wilderness and the old breeder Nikolai altogether with Egor, who are keeping fox farm running.
It was hard to understand if Egor attacked the activists while they were sleeping in their tents or if it was his imagination or a bad dream. That scene is very uncomfortable to watch. Because nobody of them are doing good for the animals, actually, and its just pure mindless violence.
Writer Nataliya Meshchaninova is a rare gem between contemporary Russian cinema, worth every movie to watch.
