In a surreal, fictional Russian province, a mysterious woman is arrested for repeatedly digging up the body of a despotic local ruler. The ghastly revelations at the resulting trial turn this film into a searing allegory of the brutal repressions, and heroic sacrifices, of the country's Stalinist era.
