The camera follows a man's body, someone is carrying it and buries it beyond under cement. This powerful and disturbing opening scene points the main subject of MY JOY, Sergei Loznitsa's portrait of the Soviet Union. Georgi, a truck driver, leaves his home and wife and starts a new trip. On the road, he misses the right exit and ends up in a Russian town, in the middle of nowhere. There, he will find all sorts of characters: a girl who knows exactly why she is selling her body, men marked by a strongly violent character...
