In the center of the plot is a forensic psychiatrist whose quiet life changes when he has to take part in the complicated story of the murder of a policeman. The hero begins to doubt the correctness of the law enforcement system when he sees all the lawlessness of conducting judicial experiments on the suspect.

The tape was created by the film companies "VIATEL" and "Modern Ukrainian Cinema". The development of the project was supported by the Ukrainian Cultural Fund, financial support for the production was received from the State Agency of Ukraine for Cinema, and post-production was financed by the Gothenburg Film Fund (Sweden).
