Soviet Union, the eighties. A serial killer is striking in a region near some woods. A forensics examiner is appointed leader of the investigation. The State bureaucracy stands in the way of the investigation.
The film is watchable, but somehow it didn't seem to do its job right. Perhaps the facts it is based on are essentially dull, and that reflected on the dramatization. On the other hand, it is never clear what exactly is going on, how big the region of the murders is, why the protagonist is considered so good at his job as an investigator, what the reaction of the population to the killings along the 8-year period is. Maybe some of the fault lies with its TV-movie budget which did not allow a better production, but I don't know.
