GuestsOnTheEdgeYankovskySpiritInMotion
On the edge of the village Ponazyrevo the local priest, Father Evgeniy organized“Rehab Center”to give
the roof above the heads of people who have no way to go. How they live, about what they think and
dream, what they feel, what helps them to survive? The movie“On the edge”tries to give answers to
all these questions.
