On the night of Monday, January 22, 2018, a student of Bauman Moscow State Technical University killed his neighbor, then raped her, wrote a farewell letter on Vkontakte and committed suicide. A free interpretation of the real case, which reflects the internal state of the guy.

Directors Statement

About three years ago, based on a true story, I made a film about how a guy brutally killed his neighbor because of unrequited love. This event was quite loud in 2018. Many public sites dedicated to this couple have been created. The phenomenon is painful, but at the same time fascinating in its gloom. "My world began to fall apart" - so he said in the last months of his life. It was the guy's attitude and this whole creepy story that became the starting point for the development of my film language.
