About the title
Young biathlete Petya returns with his wife Nastya to his home village to work as a P.E. teacher. They are met by harsh nature and harsh people living by the laws of the taiga. Under these laws, killing for an insult is the right of the strong, and no one here is stronger than the shaman Vitya the Cannibal, a former convict. Petya witnesses his bloody crime. Only ten-year-old Ilya, the victim's son, decides to challenge the killer. Petya cannot leave his student alone to face terrible revenge: Ilya must train hard, and then Petya will help him settle the score with the Cannibal.
