About the film
Ruzhman, a 27-year-old rock guitarist, possesses a unique spiritual intuition that resonates through both his soul and his guitar. As he struggles with crushing debts to a ruthless loan shark, he attempts to use his music to guide others away from their dark paths, only to face the inevitable decay of the urban world. It is a profound struggle to maintain one’s essence amidst the violent reality of survival.”
