A story of an NKVD agent, played by Yuri Borisov (from Anora and Compartment Number 6), who seeks forgiveness from the family of the people he has killed. Highly stylised screenplay, beautifully shot.
This film was funded by the Russian Ministry of Culture, yet never aired in Russia. Somebody thought that an introspective piece on the arbitrary violence of Soviet secret services was not appropriate to release during the preparations for the war in Ukraine.
