At the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Gleb (Dmitriy Mazurov), a powerful CEO, is preoccupied with feeding the war machine with workers, when he learns of his wife’s (Iris Lebedeva) infidelity. Faced with this discovery and a complex professional decision, his scruples quickly fade.

Zvyagintsev’s (Loveless) masterful and darkly humorous tale of impunity will make your blood run cold.
