The Russian Cannon

Based on Anton Chechovs short story "The Student" about a young student of seminary who returned to his mortherland village the night before the Easter with many problems in his life.

He saw a fire on the edge of his village, and two peasant women who were sitting and warming themselves near the fire. Sitting down he told them the story of the same fire at the same night 1900 years ago at the outskirts of Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was sitting and betrayed.
