Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Three young people find themselves stranded in the taiga without any means of subsistence and, most importantly, without "vint"—a drug without which they cannot imagine their lives. This forced journey through the taiga becomes for each of them a struggle to overcome the terrible power of "vint," to overcome their hatred of life, their past, and themselves... Only one of the heroes manages to emerge from this ordeal. The taiga took away from him the most precious things – his friends and his faith in his father – but gave him something else in return: a new life. Without vint.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
