Ilya Palamodov

On Railway Workers' Day, Yurka is on his way to give his uncle Dima a special gift. Along the way, Yurka encounters all sorts of people—often unsavory ones—and finds himself caught up in a series of comical and tragic events.

Fairy-tale thriller, from the 'parallel cinema'. Real characters from Russian folklore come to life in the half-fantastic, half-idiotic atmosphere of a provincial town.
