Synopsis:

The setting is autumn 1952. A young woman urologist and hypnotic healer, who works in a hospital in the suburbs of Moscow, tries desperately to get pregnant by her husband, a disillusioned physicist who only survives thanks to the love that binds him to his wife. To her horror, she is secretly called on to treat an ailing Stalin, who is on the brink of death and has just got rid of his personal doctor. The dictator worms his way into the couple's life and strikes up with the young woman a relationship involving both personal revelations and manipulation. By turns friendly and perverted, the monster indulges in the art of terror like never before.

As Joseph Stalin is preparing to deport Russia's Jews, he has his personal doctor executed. In order to relieve his physical suffering, he secretly calls on a young healer whom he manipulates, persuading her to leave her husband. But the broken and dignified couple survive the episode and outlive the dictator.
