Asthenic syndrome is a term for the feeling of fatigue, emptiness and weakness. These symptoms have afflicted Nikolay, a teacher with writing ambitions, and recently widowed doctor Natasha. This highly acclaimed film by Kira Muratova, containing both documentary roughness and surreal dramaturgy, offers a distinctive portrait of social and systemic break-up of Socialist regime at the end of the 1980s.
