After the collapse of the Soviet Union during the “crazy nineties,” in an industrial city in northern Russia. The protagonist, Ivan, is a Yakut (a minority ethnic group) who suffers from a brain concussion due to the disgraceful invasion of Afghanistan over 20 years ago, now working as a laborer in a boiler room. A local mob boss, once a comrade of Ivan, often uses the boiler room to dispose of bodies, saying, “It doesn't matter, they’re all bad people,” calming Ivan down. But one day, when Skryabin’s daughter is sent into the boiler for stealing the boyfriend of this friend’s daughter, Ivan begins to awaken to the truth. The war is not over. The film is an extremely brutal work of violent realism, continuing the bold and dark style of Alexei Balabanov. His films like "Brother" and "Cargo 200" have been hard for mainstream media to accept, and even Kremlin's favorite director Nikita Mikhalkov (“Burnt by the Sun”) publicly criticized "Brother's" protagonist for being “filled with a desire to destroy,” “poisoning the minds of youth.” However, at the end of 2010, "Boiler Worker" won four awards including Best Film and Best Director at the "White Elephant" awards given by Russian film critics, making it the biggest winner.
