Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Geneticist Ivan Rozin, unable to come to terms with the loss of his beloved mother, is obsessively working on a scientific project to find a cure for death and improve the human genome. Violating more and more ethical norms, a scientist absorbed in this idea kidnaps two children. Their mother will have to stop Ivan and prove that his experiments do not lead to perfection, but to the loss of humanity by himself.
