A masseur from the East enters the lives of the rich residents of a bland, walled off community. Despite their wealth, the residents emit an inner sadness, a longing. The mysterious newcomer’s hands heal, his eyes seem to penetrate their souls. To them, his Russian accent sounds like a song from the past, a memory of their seemingly safer childhood. Zhenia, for this is his name, changes their lives.
„Premiered in Venice, and Oscar candidate representing Poland, this film has been described as "a bizarre hybrid between Twin Peaks and Pasolini's Teorema". Well-off and unhappy people, remarkable caricatures under the supervision of Szumowska, one of Europe's most awarded directors in recent years, delivering a solvent social satire with a touch of humanism and some poetic surrealism.”
