Russian drama set in an isolated orthodox monastery. Father Anatoly (Pyotr Mamonov) lives uneasily alongside the other monks at the monastery, his seemingly bizarre conduct at odds with his celebrated powers of healing and clairvoyance. When a prominent admiral (Yuri Kuznetsov) arrives to see Anatoly with his daughter Nastya (Viktoriya Isakova), whom he believes to be possessed by demons, the events that shaped Anatoly's troubled past come to the fore as he strives for redemption before his death, which he has foreseen to be imminent.
