"COMPELLING! A masterful piece of cinema... the film goes to a deeper, more profoundly emotional place than its surface gifts would necessarily predict.“ – Kenneth Turan, LA Times

"RIVETING TO WATCH....  Does everything a Hollywood picture doesn't... Art houses will love this remarkably controlled debut"  – Dan Fanairu, SCREEN INTERNATIONAL 

"STUNNING...renews the grand tradition of Russian cinematic mysticism epitomized by Andrei Tarkovsky.“ – Dave Kehr, THE NEW YORK TIMES

Two Brothers discover that their father has returned home after years of absence without a word of explanation. He is a hard, independent man with skills that suggest a military background. The elder of the two brothers is intrigued with his father, striving for his approval. The younger is filled with hatred and resentment…a true rebel. As father and son go on a 'holiday' the boys must prove themselves daily or deal with his harshly judgmental and violently punishing ways.
