A darkly comic and freewheeling epic that gets to the heart of small-town politics and what it means to please all of the people all of the time ...

A shell-shocked soldier downs vodka on his return from the frontline in Chechnya
As Ilya arrives home he stumbles into the epicentre of an extraordinary power struggle that threatens to tear the town apart
