A group of scientists travel from Earth to study a planet and its inhabitants. The planet is nearly identical to Earth except that the people living on this planet are behind, both culturally and technologically, Earth by around 800 years. On this planet a movement similar to the Renaissance has been suppressed, with anyone considered to be an intellectual brutally murdered and, as a result, the people are still living in the Dark Ages. One of the scientists is assigned to infiltrate the populace, disguised as a nobleman named Don Rumata, though he is under strict rules not to interfere in the politics of the society or engage in any kind of violence towards the people.

Legendary Russian sci-fi authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (whose Roadside Picnic was filmed as Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky) wrote the source novel, and adapting it was director Aleksei German s dream project for decades. It would take six years of shooting, a further six of post-production and a posthumous premiere before his masterpiece was finally unveiled.

But masterpiece it is: a visually astonishing, almost tactile recreation of an unnervingly recognisable alternative universe, drenched in blood, mud and the tears of the oppressed.
