Simmering rural crime drama about a Ukrainian ex-smuggler who does one last job for his family.
When reformed ex-smuggler Pamfir returns to home to his village on the Ukrainian border after working abroad for several years, he’s determined to earn an honest living and set a good example for his beloved teenage son Nazar. But in a town where corruption runs deep and crime and religion are inextricably linked, his plan is quickly thwarted when Nazar sets fire to the local church in a misguided effort to keep him at home. To pay for the damage, Pamfir must take on one last job for a crime syndicate operating a risky smuggling venture in a place where all the rules have changed.
Part drama, part thriller, part noir-inflected fairytale, Pamfir is a propulsive, genre-defying debut exploring the thin line between good and evil.
