Synopsis: Teenage Misha receives hypnotic treatment for sleepwalking from psychotherapist Volkov. Eventually, Misha becomes so dependent on the hypnologist that he is no longer able to distinguish reality from illusion. After the mysterious death of one of Volkov's lady patients, Misha decides to investigate the case and find out the truth. But what can he do when dream and reality have become one and he himself is the chief suspect?

The funny thing about working with Valery Todorowski is that he never gives you the film to watch with a reference temp score as it usually goes. Instead, he describes the main themes needed for the picture with bright images. On the one hand, it is a much more creative project, than trying to compete with the reference score. But on one hand, it is a much more difficult and long process to create the whole music soundscapes from scratch. Trying to reproduce what the director's "bright images" could sound like. When Valery told me to write "hypnotic music," I wasn't quite sure what he meant. The first sketches were made in the direction of psychological thriller, so I wrote music with tension, anxiety, fear... I called this theme "dark hypnosis". But Valery said: "No, not that, too specific and harsh. I need a state where you don't understand whether this is reality or a dream." It was necessary to find the exact sounding of the inner state, the source of which was the story. Without this, everything could be fake.
