A mother can hear your thoughts. Knows your fears. And will never let you go. Medical student Olesya discovers she can’t go outside. Neither she herself, nor the unexpected guest who suddenly appears, nor the neighbors—nobody manages to leave even the floor they live on. And while everyone clings to their small familiar worlds, the world around them begins to quietly and irreversibly go bad. It grows dim. Crumbles into concrete grit, turns to dust and ash, to fog and grayness. And then, out of that grayness, she appears—the Grey Mother.
An uncompromising capsule psychological thriller set in a sealed-off space in a house that, at first glance, is anything but remarkable.
