A remote village in the Northwest of Russia. A mental asylum is located in an old wooden house. The place and its inhabitants seem to be untouched by civilization. In this pristine setting, no articulate human voice is heard, and pain is muted. The landscapes and buildings are not so much inhabited as lightly entwined and then passed through by their anonymous residents, like some creeping mist. Phantoms half stuck, half undone in a phantom world—lost persons from a lost society?

#124 There are many films that are like: "If this wasn't old it wouldn't be impressive at all". Good and bad.
This is the opposite. If this wasn't as new as it is (2001) it wouldn't be impressive.
