Five passengers - the Bandit, his friend Matvei, Matvei's old father, the Musician, and a young woman - race along an empty road in a big black jeep, searching for the Belfry of Happiness which, according to hearsay, lies somewhere between St. Petersburg and the town of Uglich, near a deserted nuclear power station. The Belfry takes people, but it does not take everyone. Each of the five passengers believes that he or she will be chosen.
A stark, introspective journey. The film feels like a bleak pilgrimage, exploring the quiet desperation of souls seeking solace on an empty road. It's a meditative, somber experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
