(Russia, 2011, 105 mins, DCP)

Disenchanted with both her philanthropic work and privileged domestic life, Marina (the utterly fearless Olga Dykhovichnaya) responds to being sexually assaulted by becoming a nocturnal creature drawn to depravity. Angelina Nikonova’s uncompromising first feature offers a unique feminist perspective on the ills of contemporary Russia. Winner, Best Film, FIPRESCI prize, Thessaloniki 2011.
