A terrorist attack on the Dubrovka theatre led to the death of around 130 civilians. Those who survived carry the trauma within them to this day. Like Natasha, who took the veil immediately after the tragedy and now returns with other survivors to summon up those four terrifying days as part of her reminiscence therapy. Her motives may be noble yet they ultimately bring to light the sombre narrative of her own guilt. 32-year-old Ivan Tverdovskiy is the first to break an unspoken taboo in his adaptation of this tragic event. Contemplating the very essence of fear he revisits one of the most painful episodes in modern Russian history. Instead of submitting an action spectacle, he confronts the true stories of people who were there with the bleak reality of widespread indifference and memory denial.
