Locations

The action unfolds in two primary settings: an old apartment hall with post-Soviet decor, and a magical birch forest.

Musical Solution

The film has no dialogue; therefore, the original chamber music (piano, flute, strings, for example) carries much of the narrative weight—it guides the viewer from the noise of the apartment to the silence of the forest and back, conveying the heroine’s emotions from disorientation and fear to grief and acceptance.
