2014 · 110 min

A brooding, slow-burning procedural that weaves past and present into a tense, unsettling puzzle.

Overview: The Photographer is an elusive serial killer operating in modern-day Moscow. He leaves numbered tiles at the scenes of his crimes, similar to those placed at crime scenes by forensic teams.

One of the people involved in the investigation is Natasha - the only person to have survived an encounter with The Photographer.
