This elderly woman keeps the economy of a large family. Yes, it cannot be otherwise, because she is a strong person, she survived the death of her husband, and persecution, and the change of eras, and the change of rulers. And a change of country. She is Russian, but she lived her life among the Kurds, in a Kurdish village in Iraq. Her life is now seen through the eyes of an unknown narrator, who has the voice of director Sokurov and comes from a clan of great narrators of Russian literary classics, including official Zaitsev and veteran of the Caucasian wars Maxim Maksimych.
