About the film
An ordinary workday is interrupted when Marya receives a call from a clinic asking for a verification code sent to her phone. Soon, she is told that scammers have gained access to her personal data, putting her apartment and savings at risk — and that one wrong move could have serious consequences. Following increasingly bizarre instructions from strangers on the phone, Marya prepares a package containing money and a jar of old raspberry jam. But are the scammers really the ones in control?
