He is old and frail, but has a tight grip on power. “The power is only taken, it is never given away,“ he repeats. And it is convenient for both the elites and the secret services -- while the “body“ is alive, various groups are scoring their political points. The General Secretary is “sentenced to life“. A young nurse Sasha looks after him. Small, fragile and invisible, she bears a heavy burden of responsibility for the life of the country’s top official.
