About project
This film became one of the first Russian staged artistic experimental projects in the field of VR cinema at the stage of the emergence and development of the VR direction in domestic video shooting practices.

A scientist, grieving the loss of his daughter, explores the phenomenon of life after death and conducts a dangerous experiment on himself to prove the existence of humanity in another form of life. The experiment itself is based on real events - the subject must leave his body, enter the adjacent room, and memorize the symbols on prepared charts beforehand, then return to his body and describe what he saw outside of it. In the other world, the scientist not only meets his daughter but also encounters the spirit of one of the victims of his previous experiments, who, driven by revenge, wants to take over the body of his killer.
