Unos científicos son enviados al planeta Arkanar, donde la civilización se ha quedado estancada en plena Edad Media. En ese mundo, uno de los investigadores es tomado por el hijo ilegítimo de Dios. Épica adaptación de la novela de los hermanos Strugatski, rodada y montada durante más de un decenio.
The main character Vorobei is a professional grave digger and alcohol addict, who runs away from hospital to dig graves instead of treating his head broken by his brother. He comes to cemetery and keeps on working, instead of his friends' advice to stay in the hospital. The world of death turns out to be surrounded by corruption, satanic money-making, cemetery mafia and lots of vodka.
