Experiencing Interruptions?

Algorithm

Dima is a programmer — he creates machine learning algorithms. One night he’s running late to meet his girlfriend, Masha, because of his sloppiness, and as he finally approaches, she gets hit by a car right in front of him. Dima will relive this evening over and over in an attempt to understand: was there a chance to save her?

Director Statement

It is a story about fixating on your mistakes and obsessing over questions you will never have answers to. A story that is dark, desperate and dementing. But it is also a story about learning when to stop and accepting the fact that some things in live will always be out of your hand.
