　　Like Fritz Lang, David Fincher or Bong Joon Ho before him, talented debut filmmaker Lado Kvataniya uses the concept of police detective vs serial killer for an excitingly stylised, macabre and haunting narrative, that ultimately revolves around the identity of an era: in this case, the late 1980s Soviet Union. With Glasnost and the end of communist rule, the West also learned of the (unsurprising) fact that there were serial killers in Russia too – the most notorious case probably that of Andrei Chikatilo, nicknamed the Rostov Ripper, or the Russian Hannibal Lecter.
　　Based on these and many other sources, Kvataniya and screenwriter Olga Gorodetskaya constructed an immersive psychological puzzle, jumping back and forth in time, to reveal ever new-possible motives for the actions of all the protagonists. It all starts in 1990, when Detective Issa Davydov is celebrating his promotion and receives a call, reporting a crime that looks precisely like the ones of the serial killer that he famously captured some years before ...

　　从小在训练池畔长大、以成为游泳冠军为目标的库巴（Mateusz Banasiuk 饰），一直与母亲及女友同住狭小的公寓中。夹在母亲亦步亦趋的“贴身”照顾与女友黏腻交缠的规律生活之间，爱似乎只是义务，欲望则是身外之物。更衣室里随处可见精壮男体，但面对体内升起的另类冲动，库 巴总选择在野外公厕的狭小厕间里解决欲望。直到一场派对上邂逅有着截然不同生活的英俊大学生米哈尔（Bartosz Gelner 饰），库巴潜于水面下的爱欲情潮顷刻失控，规律的生活被打破殆尽，身边的人们也被卷入情感的暗流......
　　这是一部关于爱、缺少爱、以及诚实面对爱的电影。波兰新锐导演汤姆斯·瓦西莱斯基以时而冷冽、时而狂乱的摄影，奠定了都市高楼林立、人群拥挤却疏离的故事基调。电影成功捕捉在充满教条的社会框架中、人与人之间看似稳固实则扭曲的生存状态。多层次的声音设计更将压抑的欲望层层堆砌直至爆发。
