Alexi and his little brother Misha have grown up in the shadow of the nuclear arms race - indeed they make a living from it. But when Misha starts to suffer seizures of a sinister and familiar kind, the local medical centre tells Alexi that his only hope of saving Misha's life is to take him to the nearest city where he can receive proper treatment.
The medics there can't help Misha without the right papers, and the right money, and the brothers are left to live rough behind a deserted sports stadium. Misha's condition worsens, and when packs of wild dogs discover their hideout, he turns to them, rather than Alexi, for comfort and companionship. Slowly shut out of his brother's life, Alexi cannot penetrate Misha's guard of dogs, and has no choice but to watch him die.
