According to the philosophical and religious tradition of ancient China, a Daoist is a person who seeks to live in harmony with the natural order of the world, following the principles of balance and simplicity. Perhaps this very idea served as the foundation for Surkov’s surreal and plotless film. On the other hand, it’s a melancholic sketch of Troieshchyna in the late 1990s.

An aging Hollywood star, Joe Scott, lives a life of narcissistic hedonism, observed by his laconic personal assistant, Ophelia. The death of his childhood best friend, Boots, takes our protagonist, and the movie, into an extended flashback to a sea-side town in 1970s Britain.

Follows the journey of a 90-year-old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit his off-the-map desert town. He finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self-exploration.
