Plot synopsis
The film used the difficult but moving technique of "scratching" the film with a needle.
The set designer had to outdo himself to convey the emotions of the main character.
Yegor Philippov, after recording his role and "identifying with his model" almost fainted in the studio, became speechless and almost felt nauseous.
This impressive subject, which relates the hero's agony, is inspired by the last chapter of the story "The Artist with a Syringe" by the St. Petersburg marginal writer Nikolai Iovlev.
The director's decidedly experimental idea - to convey physical sensations through a small abstract drawing - becomes easily understandable and accessible to the understanding of unprepared spectators
