Director Ilya Naishuller manages quite a feat: to tell a creepy story in just four minutes, through a backwards timeline structure with a subtle ending that forms the origin of the tale: a girl and a soap bubble. Cause and effect (or rather, the other way round) guide us through a world in which tigers, a monkey, flying gas cylinders, sinister criminals, blood, death and destruction all come into play.
Naishuller introduced himself to the world with his spectaculair action movie Hardcore Henry. In this short he creates another rollercoaster of attractively photographed looming catastrophe.
