A superb short sci-fi thriller from Russia. The lead character is first seen played by Nikolay Machulskiy. A remarkable performance (as are all the other s who play the character of Igor). Great cinematography and music help build the tension and there are some great moments. It feels like full-length movie, and I don't mean in a bad way. A lot of story and drama are packed into 12 minutes. The lead character is a unwitting shapeshifter, who, at times, gets into awkward situations because of it. I first saw it via Youtube, but without English subtitles, and yet, as I watched it, although not understanding exactly what was being spoken, I could understand exactly what was happening and the meaning of what was being said That is a sign of a good production. Now I have seen it with subtitles too but it made no difference, as you cannot get better than perfection already. Superb.Nikolay Machulskiy gives a hypnotic performance. You can tell what the character is thinking , even when he isn't speaking for most of it. It is just through looks that he gives. Superb film short.
