Warning: Contains pervasive psychological abuse, coercive control, and non-simulated emotional distress.

Set within the hyper-realistic, immersive world of "The Institute"—a reconstructed Soviet-era science center—the story follows (Ekaterina Yuspina), a young librarian whose idealistic views on love are repeatedly crushed by a series of hollow affairs with men, including the scientist Dau himself.

For three reels, the film becomes a horrifyingly authentic loop: Warning: Contains pervasive psychological abuse

For casual viewers (trigger warning: extreme alcoholism, psychological torture, self-harm), the film serves as a mirror. It reflects the quiet wars that happen in millions of kitchens, where the battlefield is a linoleum floor and the casualty is human dignity. DAU. Katya Tanya
