Intrigue

A story of a young woman whose soul remembers the metaphysical perfection it witnessed before becoming embodied. Now, against the canvas of the modern world it seems like a film defect.

Lera is a sociology student at a small-town university. Her mother is a sleepwalker who believes in miracles, and her father just left the family for another woman. Lera has no idea how to make her life better. And one more thing: a spirit keeps visiting her dreams at night. And the harder Lera's life gets, the more often she has these dreams. That is, until the spirit steps into the world of the living.

During the day, Lera studies humankind and its needs through opinion polls, which are an educational practice at the institute; at night, she dances under the pseudonym Gerda in a club to support herself and her mother. The people she meets are as unfortunate as her family. Her father has recently left for another woman, but he constantly returns home, unable to make his choice and thereby making the life of close people intolerable. The mother painfully endures the breakup and constantly sleeps, ignoring reality. Lera doesn't know how to carry on, where to go and what to live for, and - most importantly - how to improve life. The adult world, invariable unfortunate, which Lera observes day and night, seems hopeless.—themoviedb
