Golden Bottom 1995

Synopsis

Garik, the head of security in a gold mining company rules with an iron fist over a small settlement in Kolyma. All signs of resistance are punished severely, even by death. That is the picture of reality found by Dima nicknamed a "Tough guy", when he returns after a long time of wandering. Dima decides to fight against Garik. He is waging a struggle for the rights of the settlers, all the more so because there are more rebels in the village, including Dima\'s brother, Sasha. As a result of a fight in a bar and a subsequent shooting, Dima gets wounded. He is given shelter by a local doctor, Helena, who is also Garik\'s friend. But does she take the risk only out of a sense of professional duty? The next meeting of Dima and Garik at the bar ends in Garik being beaten up. It becomes clear that their next fight will be the last one. Indeed, Sashka gets killed in the shooting. Garik is badly wounded, but when Dima wants to shoot him, Helena shields him with her own body. Thus she settles the score – by saving Garik\'s life this time. Now she can be with Dima. Garik is defeated. Perhaps intimidated villagers will now return to their settlement bringing the hope for the revival of the gold-bearing land.
