Wild Field

Mitya, a young doctor, lives and practices medicine in the middle of the steppe. Although it appears deserted, patients frequently arrive at his home-office – one man’s heart has stopped beating from heavy drinking, another’s cow is dying, a young couple are bleeding to death from stab wounds. A local policeman, the only government authority in this vast region, is also a frequent visitor to the doctor. Mitya’s fiancee comes to visit him too, but as it turns out, it’s not for long. All the while, Mitya senses something disturbing lurking nearby, a force that ultimately makes an attempt on the doctor’s life. The wild field sees him off, but maybe it is not to die.
