## Plot

[edit]

Oleg, a highly sought-after 40-year-old psychotherapist in Moscow, has a packed schedule that makes it difficult for clients to secure an appointment. To his patients, he appears to be a successful, self-assured family man. However, internally, he is in turmoil, struggling with his own need for professional help and the unresolved mystery of his wife’s disappearance over a year ago.

Oleg's mother, Kira, is a sexologist and university professor. Observing her son’s deep grief over his missing wife, she gives him a doll crafted in the likeness of a woman. In time, Oleg begins to see his wife in the doll, blurring the lines between reality and his own psychological distress.
