Directorial debut by Ekaterina Abdulova inspired by the biblical Book of Job, the philosophy of Kierkegaard and Mamardashvili, the prose of Kafka, Dostoevsky, Orwell and Chekhov.

This is a story of second birth. Of how, having lost everything, you stop being yourself.

Of how, at the edge of fear, strength finds you; in the depths of loneliness, a connection to the whole opens up; and guilt meets forgiveness.

And that fear need not be conquered — it can be welcomed as a guest. Then all protocols close. And silence descends.
