FILM SYNOPSIS
A masseur from the East enters the lives of the rich residents of a bland, walled off community. Despite their wealth, the residents bear an inner sadness. The mysterious newcomer’s hands heal and 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.
