In Detail

The main protagonist Andrii Dovzhenko finds out a horrible truth that has been hidden in the USSR for years - most of those accused of “anti-Soviet propaganda” were never sent to prison, but to special psychiatric hospitals with a diagnosis of "slow progressive schizophrenia".

Andrii finds himself in a real hell of brutal psychiatric practices and faces a difficult choice - to cooperate with the KGB and return to his family, or to reveal the truth about dissidents tortured in such psychiatric hospitals. A very revealing film about a very secretive chapter from the not-too-distant past.

We hope to welcome director Denys Tarasov all the way from Ukraine for a Q&A following the screening.
