Anna and Petros, a Greek couple who recently moved to an industrial Siberian town on account of Petros' work, are shocked to discover Anna is pregnant with no prior intercourse. Did she cheat? Are they victims of a conspiracy? Or blessed with a miracle? Looking for a logical explanation to their situation, Petros starts distrusting Anna, who chooses to embrace the pregnancy, turning to religion to cope. Their previously unshakeable bond starts to falter and cracks begin to show, as their relationship becomes the battleground between the rational and the spiritual. Set against the striking frozen landscapes of Siberia, "Still River" is a haunting, touching suspense drama about love, trust and faith struggling in the face of doubt.

To avert the imminent threat of extensive environmental disaster, Petros, a rational Greek environmental consultant, moves with his artistic, free-spirited wife, Anna, to a small industrial town nestled deep in the snow-clad Siberian wilderness. More and more, as work-related stress leads to abstinence and estrangement, the shocking revelation of Anna's inexplicable pregnancy disrupts the already fragile balance of things. Now, strange religious rituals, profound distrust, superstition, and unfulfilled sexual fantasies become inextricably intertwined, pitting Petros against Anna.
