Sergei and Andrei are walking through a city park and see that a film shoot set just post World War II is taking place . They climb over the park fence to get a better view but hit some cable lying on the ground and find themselves in the past - on May 8, 1949, a day which they seem doomed to relive over and over again.

VIBE

A haunting, dreamlike descent into a repeating past. It feels like a philosophical puzzle box, where every turn offers a new, unsettling reflection on choices made and the inescapable nature of time. A deeply introspective, almost suffocating experience.
