Молодой русский врач работает в захолустном туркменском городке. Пыльные дороги, непроницаемые лица, дома из глины и фанеры, унылое треньканье азиатской музыки, разноязыкая речь, чуждые обычаи… Доктор лечит детей, пытается что-то писать, но конец света для него уже наступил….
A recently qualified medical doctor, Dmitri Malyanov, has taken a posting to a remote and very poor part of Soviet Turkmenistan. On top of his day job as a pediatrician Malyanov is undertaking research into the effects of religious practice on human health. His research has drawn the politically incorrect conclusion that religious faith does indeed improve health. However, as he attempts to write up his thesis, various sorts of improbable, bizarre events take place one after another. Malyanov perceives that some force is preventing him from completing his research.
