After the disappearance of her daughter, Polina is haunted every night by the same nightmare — someone pounding violently on her door. The terror doesn’t leave her even after she wakes up: she’s paralyzed by fear of crossing the apartment’s threshold. The boundaries between reality and madness fray. In her dreams, six-year-old Vera cries for help, and the apartment doors become portals to the past… Her only anchor is Sasha, a childhood friend who cares for her. But his kindness morphs into another nightmare.
