Soon, though, he comes to realize that things are not always what they appear to be. Plot The short depicts a lone Russian soldier, Glago, stationed in a remote Siberian outpost in the middle of the frozen tundra. Glago's uneventful daily routine consists of manning the outpost, observing the horizon through his binoculars, and having dull, candlelit meals day in and day out. One day, Glago's routine is broken when he hears a strange sound coming from above and looks up, only to witness a colossal, black oval-shaped object descending from the sky and landing in front of the outpost. A door suddenly opens, revealing alien lifeforms similar to a mass of translucent-green orbs piled together.
