John is an ambitious young scientist working at Cambridge University and enjoying success in his field. Following a downturn in his private life he decides to take a long hiatus to carry out a carefully prepared plan that he thinks will make the world a better place to live in.... After her successful debut with the film Magnus, Kadri Kõusaar returns to the screen with an English-language coproduction for which she wrote the screenplay. The dense, cleverly constructed atmosphere of this visually engrossing picture is reinforced by an unsettling musical score. With this confidently crafted and provocative film, the talented Estonian director poses a number of disconcerting questions that the audience must answer. Of her artistic intention she says: “What did I want to do? Provoke? Give a warning? Mystify? All of that together.” (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
