In order to fully appreciate all the details of the picture, you need to be familiar with the everyday life of the Ukrainian province in advance. Hear the speech of local residents, know the peculiarities of their coexistence.
The film tells about two brothers who look the same but are so different in essence. The director seems to want to show two sides of the same coin: one brother works in the police, and the other is involved in illegal activities. But it's not just about that. It is about the experiences that the brothers face after learning about their father's terminal illness. On the one hand, this is a person who gave you life, and on the other hand, a person who abandoned his sons in childhood. It's a contest between rationality and humanity.
In my opinion, this is one of the best tragicomedies in the history of Ukrainian cinema. The actors have a bright sense of humor, which they convey to their characters in the picture. Basically, they are playing themselves, but under different names. I was also surprised by the cinematography with unexpected angles, transitions and playing with landscapes.
The fact that this is only the director's second full-length film is very pleasing, and the film does not look unfinished, but deserves high marks.
