Vika

2022 · 18 min

A quiet, heavy character study that sits with guilt and isolation, unsettling rather than thrilling.

Overview: The craftswoman Vika loves her secluded life. She is thrown into a tailspin when she kills a burglar one night in the heat of the moment. The guilt haunts her like a dark shadow until she finds her own form of penance.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and eerie. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Guilt, isolation, morality, redemption
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
