7.2 / 10 · TMDB

Potter Martin, nicknamed Dragon, returns to his native village after years of exile. Once accused of causing natural disasters, he lost his wife, his home, and his freedom. Now, risking his life, he saves a herd of cows from a forest fire in the hills. Yet even this heroic deed fails to melt the ice of distrust and fear the villagers hold for this strange, solitary man. His attempt to find a way out of loneliness and reclaim his place among people becomes a bitter ballad of love and hate.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A slow, hypnotic study of an outcast's psychology, where nature mirrors human cruelty. The camera lingers on harsh landscapes that contrast with the village's petty suspicions.

What lingers after viewing is the powerful notion that prejudice can be more destructive than any natural disaster. The image of a man seeking forgiveness for a crime he did not commit resonates deeply. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Eduard Grečner
