Rafeal is the sole survivor of an attack on a Soviet outpost. Inspired by the three martial artists who easily dispatched the other guards on duty with him, Rafeal decides to learn kung fu. Unfortunately for him, "everything cool" is banned in the USSR, and he’ll have to seek martial arts teachers at one of the unlikeliest places: the local Eastern Orthodox monastery. Explicitly referencing multiple genre classics, the film does not rest on just being an over-the-top action comedy, but asks questions about the place of faith and spirituality within modern society.
