🎬 Movie

Alexey returns to his hometown after his father's death to settle the estate. Instead of a will, he finds a bizarre family contract: the men in his lineage must become "breadwinners" for an ancient entity dwelling in the old house's basement. Refusal means a curse; acceptance means losing his humanity. Blending rural folk horror with the absurd humor of daily routines, this 2025 film walks the line between horror, fantasy, and dark comedy. Alexey searches for a loophole in the ancestral pact, navigating the bureaucracy of the otherworld, which demands regular "payments." His struggle against a system where monsters follow rules and humans break them becomes a satire on family duty and adult life.
