About This Movie

Anya Kadet, a video blogger working at a railway depot, finds herself entangled with the bizarre Kulebyakin, whose unpredictable nature adds to the film’s eerie charm. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and there’s a unique pacing that lingers in moments of quiet dread. Drawing inspiration from Yuri Mamleev’s prose, the film crafts a narrative that feels surreal, almost dreamlike at times, while incorporating Hitchcockian elements that enhance its suspense.
