Russia, 1870. A group of young anarchist revolutionaries set out to overthrow the Czarist regime through violence. Their attacks create a climate of psychosis and mutual distrust among the population, but in reality, both revolutionaries and repressors are being manipulated by a diabolical individual.

VIBE

A chilling descent into ideological fervor and paranoia. This film feels like a suffocating atmosphere of distrust, where every shadow hides a potential enemy and every whispered word fuels the fire of revolution and madness.
