But suddenly there is a murder...
As in the Alfred Hitchcock film "the Rope", the film has only 11 editing glues.
Director Elizaveta Trusevich notes that "this is a film about the fact that every person is an incredibly beautiful, perfect creation, a work of art."
Taking into account that the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded for genome editing, this story looks surprisingly relevant.
