A truck driver takes a wrong turn and finds himself lost in a bleak Russian underworld, struggling to survive amidst increasingly violent reminders of the country's dark history.

A page from Dantes Inferno
A Horror film, without any blood'n guts, a devilish job on your imagination.It's about a Russian truck drivers journey, during the late 90's. Factories, Villages, roads, everything seems to fall apart. You can't distinguish between the Police and the Robbers. Both seem to be out to get the drivers cargo, or some kickback, protection money and so on, from our poor protagonist.The social transactions between the truck driver and random population will turn out way different than you first anticipate. Without giving any spoilers, this movie will stick to your mind, for a long time to come. Compare it with one of your "average" nightmares. I could only compare it to movies like Gruz 200, or a french movie with Juliette Binoche, I've seen more than 30 years ago, where She has a car accident, where She roams in a world of "Dantes Inferno", not knowing that She's dead.
