The programmer’s eye

Egor is perfect. He is a fearless and flawless forest ranger, respected by his village, and a loved and loving father. Yet, when he gets diagnosed with an incurable cancer, he relies on a hopeless technique to cheat death but which will turn him into a pariah. Egor surprises, and so does the film with its way to toggle from realism to the tale and to convey with fierceness and irony the toxic masculinity and the rights of the LGBT community in Russia.
