Ilya learned street-smarts in the harsh realities of Russia's Far North, book-smarts in literature class, and the strength of the fist from a father who strived to raise a son following the straight and narrow. His days consist of berating a subordinate and lamenting the days of Stalin; his nights-of scraping metal and composing obscenity-riddled poems. Ilya longs for a life more becoming of his stature, but unbridled personal demons present a major obstacle to his dreams of conquering the nation's capital.

Best movie of this year hands down!
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
