Sad to watch, but good movie

There is no explanation for the 12 years that my father disappeared, only that he has eaten enough fish, so he stopped eating fish. A metaphor for Soviet politics. This kind of film is like the winter when the train passes through Siberia (I have never taken it, imagined), it is long but makes you feel nervous all the time, I thought about fast-forwarding, but finally I didn't want to miss the details, and I finished it. Although I keep praying that the father in the film is a cool father who taught his son survival skills after 12 years of absence, but is full of love and wants to make up for the love he has not given for so many years, although the father-son conflict in it is not what I hoped for, but it is true. , it's hard to watch, but the movie is good.
