Synopsis by Nathan Southern
The Russian word morfiy translates as morphine, and that baleful drug with the power of seduction stands at the center of this period drama. Set in 1916, it tells of a young provincial physician, Dr. Mikhail Poliakov, who finds himself drawn into the trap of morphine addiction.
