Duty
An inexperienced young investigator — just taking office — is interrogating a prostitute who killed his comrade. The girl lies and prevaricates because she doesn’t want to go to jail. The young police officer has a choice then — to refer the case along a legal path, which will probably end in acquittal, or avenge his colleague — break her down and make her confess to murder.

Hello! Most part of my life I've lived in Moscow, Russia. I wanted to become an interpreter, but changed many occupations. I spend all my spare time shooting films. Currently I live in a decent neighborhood next to two cats. I am open for collaboration and have ideas for a couple of new pictures. Feel free to contact me via e-mail: john714@yandex.ru
In this picture, I wanted to talk about the difference between law and justice, as well as conflicts between the boss and subordinate, the mentor and the student, and the conflict of generations. Which is better: to preserve humanness, to remain yourself and to lose everything, or to keep everything, having lost yourself — to become a cog in the wheel, lose morale and function under instructions when obligations do not coincide with beliefs — is it true courage to fulfill your duty?
