Write a short summary of what happens in the film

It is a horror film about a musician pulling through a creative crisis and his own hit song that became his darkest nightmare. He found himself in a mysterious sanatorium ELEUSIS that promises him creative reemergence. Welcome to the world of suspicious servants, missing patients and night terrors. All this is just an orchestration for the final ritual…

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Ivan Dorn, a singer vastly popular in Russia and CIS countries, effectively played himself. The actor refers to certain details of his own biography. In the film, the main character is haunted by his greatest hit — and in these moments, we hear Ivan Dorn’s real hit, Stytsamen, Russia’s top hit back in 2012. The viewers were aware of the fictional nature of the plot, however the combination of imaginary events and a real person helped create a particularly immersive story.
