Initially made to stigmatize the religious obscurantism of russian peasantry, the film has been revived to point out the violent alcoholism of the peasants and their opposition to the new soviet laws, thanks to the Orthodox church. A depraved alcoholic kills his wife and his son who denounced him to the new leaders, justifying his actions with a biblical quotation.
