The Alien
5.6
In a small Russian village, Lyokha lives in a tiny house and draws strange circles in the fields while trying to catch radio waves in the hopes of contacting extraterrestrial civilizations. The villagers mock him for his odd habits, but everthing changes when the one he's been calling for suddenly arrives - an alien female named Yana.
