Summary
In the stark, evocative landscape of post-war Soviet Russia, 'Kto ty takoy?' (Who are you?) unfolds as a penetrating psychological drama. The narrative centers on the enigmatic arrival of a stranger, a man with no discernible past, into a tightly-knit, insular village still reeling from the scars of conflict. His presence acts as a catalyst, meticulously peeling back layers of communal denial and individual secrets, forcing the inhabitants to confront long-buried traumas and the uncomfortable truths of their own identities. The film masterfully explores the fragility of memory, the burden of collective guilt, and the profound human need for belonging, even as it questions the very foundations upon which communities are built when faced with an existential 'other'. It's less a mystery of 'whodunit' and more a profound inquiry into 'who are we?'
