synopsis
In a timeless village, so isolated that it does not appear on the map of Russia, Sysoy passes on the tradition of Byzantine chant to his son Ivan. Their eremitic family life is punctuated by the gestures of working the land and a rigorous spiritual practice that seem dedicated to preparing the young adolescent for an imminent change in life.
