Retour à Kotelnitch

During a documentary in Kotelnitch (Russia), Emmanuel Carrère came to meet up with a Hungarian prisoner detained for fifty years in a mental hospital. He also met a couple, Ania and Sacha. The filmmaker and writer gets back there when he learns about the murder of the couple... It is a heartbreaking vision and a research about grief, survivors, contemporary Russia but also a very personal introspection from the author about his own Russian origins.
