What is it about?
Misha experienced a traumatic childhood in a juvenile reformatory in Russia. He grew up to become a broken man, living in an abandoned underground station to escape the noise of the city, which provokes nightmarish hallucinations of his past. To escape his hallucinations, he has created an inner marine world, filled with the calm of water and cardboard fish that he draws. When the real world becomes too much to bear, he withdraws into himself and takes refuge in this internal universe.
