Synopsis

Late USSR. The General Secretary lies in the government clinic. He is old and frail, but has a tight grip on power. 'The power is only taken, it is never given away', he repeats. And it is convenient for both the elites and the secret services -while the 'body' is alive, various groups are scoring their political points. The General Secretary is 'sentenced to life'. A young nurse Sasha looks after him. Small, fragile and invisible, she bears a heavy burden of responsibility for the life of the country's top official.

Awards: 2023: Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF): Best Production Design.
