[2] The film follows David (Merab Ninidze), a university professor at a provincial Russian campus, who starts a social media campaign to expose local mayoral corruption.
His efforts lead to unintended consequences, as he is placed under house arrest and faces false embezzlement charges.
Confined to his cluttered apartment, David grapples with the isolation and mounting pressure of his circumstances, exacerbated by the lack of support from colleagues and hostility from neighbors.
As David's situation deteriorates and his water supply is cut off, he faces the harsh realities of holding onto his principles in a repressive society.
Wendy Ide of Screen Daily wrote "The film has a charismatic and textured central character who widens the scope of a picture which rarely strays beyond the confines of a cluttered, claustrophobic apartment".
