Taiji Bay

Directed by Sasha Gromova

Anka's once-large family is falling apart: her younger brother was killed at school, and her own mother pretends that this did not happen, diligently trying to convince everyone around her of this. Anka's grandfather unsuccessfully struggles with progressive Alzheimer's, talking to his deceased grandson in between searching for a wiretap hidden, as it seems to him, in the house. The father, who, according to his mother's stories, is a diplomat traveling around the world, actually turns out to be an alcoholic who drank the last thing they had: an apartment. In an attempt to get justice and help her family, Anka, unbeknownst to herself, slides into the abyss of insanity so deeply that it seems there will never be a way back.
