2019121 min5.9 / 10

A morally fraught psychological drama about two psychiatrists with opposing values caught in a love triangle over a married woman, exploring desire, betrayal, and the gap between principle and impulse.

Two friends, young psychiatrists, perceive life in different ways. One wants to do the right thing. The second is to experiment. One is a diligent student. The second is the troublemaker. One loves, hating. The second hates, loving. It's a pity that they have only one passion - Katerina Sergeevna. For one, she is Mom, Dad's wife. For another - a lover.
