Victor's right: "Vozvraschenie," or "The Return" is... "incredible".

A Russian story on the theme familiar with those that have seen "The Return of Martin Guerre," "The Thief," and other films wherein a long-lost father returns to his family (Russians seem really to be the kings of this theme).
"The Return" doesn't spell out exactly the historical period, the reason for the man's absense. Rather, it centers on the impact his return has on his two sons, the wife effectively disappearing after a few scenes.
Like the Turgenev masterpiece, "Fathers and Sons," this work shows in very primal, efficient strokes the powerful familial bonds.
The seeming simplicity of the story ill prepares you for the torrent of emotions which will grip you.
Simply put: a masterpiece and a film you musn't miss.
