Murder in the Building

Alexey, a timid accountant from a provincial town, finds his new boss dead in their third-floor Moscow office. Instead of calling the police, he decides to conduct his own investigation, inspired by detective TV shows. His methods—using tea bags as evidence and questioning colleagues under the guise of discussing the weather—lead to unpredictable outcomes. The 2026 comedy-drama unfolds in a world of office politics and absurd rituals, where every employee harbors a secret, and the real culprit might be closer than it appears. The film balances on the edge of dark humor and a touching story about a little man who decides to become a hero in a world of gray walls and endless reports.
