  • Log in or register to post comments

In the midst of a turbulent 1930s Germany, a Russian aristocrat, weary of his life and trapped in a world of opulence and disillusionment, becomes the victim of his own mind. During a journey, he encounters a mysterious woman who turns his dissatisfaction into obsession. Believing he has found his "double," the protagonist embarks on a spiral of madness that leads him to question the nature of reality and identity.

As his life unravels, the boundaries between fiction and reality blur. Restlessness consumes his existence, reflecting the despair of a society on the brink of collapse. His tormented soul seeks answers but finds itself in a labyrinth of uncertainty and deception.

Tensions escalate as the aristocrat becomes embroiled in a dark game of manipulation and jealousy that involves not only the enigmatic woman but also his close circle. Attraction transforms into a deadly game where paranoia becomes his only companion. The film explores existential anguish and the bewilderment of being, as the protagonist embarks on a surreal and dreamlike journey that challenges his perception of life.

With an unsettling and visually captivating atmosphere, this work delves into the human psyche, leaving the viewer questioning what is real and what is illusion. The result is a dark and overwhelming portrayal of the unease that consumes its characters.
