Plot:     This is the story of Mitja, a young doctor, who chooses to work in the middle of nowhere, to help the people who are forgotten by God. He lives and works in the steppe, which seems empty and deserted. But every day he has patients coming in his homehospital: one man’s heart stops after heavy drinking, another comes with a dying cow. A policeman, the only authority in this vast region, comes to see Mitja very often. Life is dangerous in the steppe. There are fights between different groups of local people. Sometimes Mitja has to treat wounded people. One day his wife comes to visit him from a far away city: she comes to tell him that she decided to leave him and marry another man. He is left alone. But he feels that there is somebody or something always present nearby. In the long run this strange menace becomes a reality.
