THE LAST ONE

At night 45-year-old Kolya is waiting for a bus to go to see his daughter. But instead he comes across thephantom of his late mother and their conversation unearths images of the past: his brother’s funeral, familyquarrels, humiliations. a theft. Reality mingles with visions and the bus stop turns into a spot where life anddeath face each other. The film raises the question of responsibility, family relations and redemption.
