My Imprisonment

Overview

The film is about the treatment of depression in a psychiatric hospital adjacent to a prison in Russia. The main character becomes a patient, but while in the hospital, she begins to immerse herself in the problems and mental disorders of other patients. Her new friend is a 39-year-old woman, Asya, who jumped from the 12th floor after her husband abandoned her. Every evening, the main character and Asya collect puzzles in the hope that one day they will be cured of mental illness. Asya talks about her life, which she hardly remembers, and subtly tries to ask her new friend how to hang herself. Meanwhile, the main character secretly records life inside the hospital on the webcam of her computer and phone: recording the procedures and experiences of patients like herself.
