Synopsis
In an ordinary industrial Soviet town, notable only for presence of a radio-telescope, people start behaving strangely, in a robotic manner, while assuming geometry-inspired aliases and organizing into a new hierarchy. The phenomenon spreads via a device of alien origin, called “the mediator”, capable of implanting extraterrestrial minds into human bodies. The aliens are bound by limitations of the terrestrial technology, having to use the means at the disposal of humans to prepare the grounds for the full-scale invasion. With “the mediator" being unable to subdue minds of children, lunatics, geniuses, and rebels, a struggle over the fate of the town and the human civilization ensues.

Mood and atmosphere
Immerse yourself in a hauntingly atmospheric journey through a small, industrial town where the lines between humanity and the mechanical blur. The film evokes a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, tinged with a cold, dystopian edge. As you watch, feel the tension of isolation and the eerie calm of conformity, accentuated by a chilling soundtrack that resonates with the themes of identity and rebellion. The aesthetic is enriched by stark visuals and geometric motifs, creating a dreamlike quality that lingers long after the credits roll. This is a film for those who ponder the complexities of existence, longing for a mix of sci-fi mystery and thought-provoking exploration in a world where freedom is a fragile illusion, and the familiar becomes unsettlingly foreign.
