THE PLOT: Poprishchin, a low-ranking civil servant yearns to be noticed by the beautiful daughter of a senior official, but she never does. Slowly is yearning becomes obsession and then insanity. As his mind unravels, we see unfolding in front of our eyes, a timely parable of class wars, the quest for individuality, and the pervasive indifference for the common person.

Acclaimed Russian actor/director, Eugene Lazarev, directs the production.
