Based on a novel by Evgeny Zamyatin. In 1920s Petrograd, childless couple Trofim and his wife Sofya adopt their late neighbor’s daughter, thirteen-year-old Ganka, only for Ganka to begin a scandalous affair with her foster father. When Sofya’s despair over the incest drives her to murder Ganka with an axe and conceal the body during a flood, Trofim reports her “missing” to the police, who never recover the corpse. Sofya later becomes pregnant, confesses to the killing, and Trofim, moved by love and guilt, offers to take the blame, though the skeptical investigator doubts any crime occurred.

Photographer Snieguolė Michelkevičiūtė, began creating a series Women on Men in 1977, which sharply stood out from the creative context of the time. Her photographs record nudes of older men. For a long time, the artist’s works were considered unusual and ignored. The documentary attempts to unravel the creative processes behind the scenes and to grasp the conflict between the artist and the creative object.
