He studies the faces of the criminals, looking for a clue to some mystery in them. This is a film about a metamorphosis and about the birth of a murderer.

Two old friends meet in a big empty house which belongs to one of them on a cold winter evening. Women have something to recall. But as they drink more it becomes increasingly difficult for the hostess to hide some dark secrets from her insightful friend

A few days from the life of a Kyrgyz family in Moscow. Nurik works on a construction site as handyman. His elder brother Mansur is without work. The mother, Mukhabbat, tries to help her sons solve their problems.

Eternal twilight, passing trains, a man's hunched figure walking in the fog, a smiling girl, shadows and silence that are related to each other… Under the infernal sounds-noisy, creaking, howling-there are words that " rub against each other, giving rise to something shaky, almost nonexistent." In the center of the metropolis, people with the" Cain seal " look for the forest and the sea to get lost,and there they stay. And death looks for people to look at, and finds them there… In the film by Valentina Antonova and Dmitry Mamulia, the 82-year-old founder of Russian "metaphysical realism" Yuri Mamleev plays himself shortly before his own death and as if before our eyes is preparing to move to another world.
