Truck driver Georgy (Viktor Nemets) sets out on a provincial Russian highway for a routine delivery, but after a series of chance encounters his journey spirals out of control. A roadside police check, a talkative war veteran, and a too-young prostitute lead him to a village from which there appears to be no way out where the locals struggle to survive a tough, elemental world, and the past holds a vise-like grip over their everyday lives. Caught in a merciless dead end, Georgy's unexpected fate is the crux of Loznitsa's unique and original feature debut. (Kino Lorber)

Documentary filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa brought his cruel study of the Russian nature, My Joy, in which, through slow camera movements, we delve ever deeper into social marasmus and thieving morality. The habits of the documentary filmmaker cannot be denied, the creator unequivocally prefers description over action, exploring the expressive faces of Russian villagers and looking for traces of what the protagonist of the film, the van driver Georgij, is experiencing firsthand in the narrative of other characters. The remarkable scary story, in which disgust is mixed with irony, sometimes arouses a smile, but its thorn inevitably leads to a tragic gesture of waste and despair. Although the skeptical film places high demands on the viewer at its creeping pace, it nevertheless repays us with a plastic and depressing mosaic of the present.
