A darkly comedic, deliberately ambiguous political satire that blurs fact and fiction around Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, structured as a provocative confession.

In 2016, Donald Trump became president of the United States, which came as a surprise to many voters. Public discontent with the outcome of the vote has given rise to many versions of what happened, one of which is the external interference of hackers from Russia. American intelligence agencies are entering into a real confrontation with the Russian "troll factory" — talented hackers who influence the global news agenda, shape public opinion and interfere in the internal affairs of the United States. But who is really hiding behind the resonant cyberattacks?
