A piano tuner chasing silence in a world that refuses to shut up.
The young composer works as a piano tuner. In order to tune the piano, silence is needed, but in the apartment where he was invited, the sounds live their lives creating their own music.
Sound
Every creak and hum becomes a character with dialogue.
Production
The apartment IS the antagonist, perfectly claustrophobic.
Director
Vasily Buylov
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Soviet-era communal apartments bred this specific horror: forced intimacy with strangers' noise as inescapable architecture.
Buylov shot in his actual grandmother's apartment; the dancer is his sister, the 'silence' he sought never existed.
