About

The Soviet Union during the Cold War. An era where mutual surveillance and informants are everywhere.

Guest, a nurse living day to day just to survive, encounters a bloodied fugitive named Ilya.

What he risked his life to hide was a "film" that would decisively expose the state's corruption.

The one hunting him is Guest's childhood friend, the cold-blooded KGB officer Mikhail.

While chasing Ilya as a "hound," he simultaneously harbors an abnormal obsession with Guest, trying to lock her away in a safe birdcage.

Torn between these two polar opposite men, Guest is eventually forced to make an ultimate choice for the sake of her convictions.

Intro

The hospital at midnight was as silent as another world compared to the bustle of the day. Outside the window, a heavy, depressing snow continued to fall incessantly. While on her rounds, Guest noticed that the door to the basement archives, which was usually locked, was slightly ajar. From the gap in the door, along with the cold air, a faint smell of raw iron drifted into the hallway, mixing with the scent of old paper and dust. Guest tightened her grip on her flashlight and pushed the heavy iron door open without making a sound.
As she pointed the flashlight to cut through the darkness, the beam illuminated a man sitting slumped between the gaps in the shelves amidst the dancing dust. Disheveled dark brown hair. A worn leather jacket. His right arm was stained a thick, blackish red. The man winced at the brightness of the light, but glared at Guest with eyes that burned as sharply as a cornered beast. Guest gripped the flashlight against her nurse's uniform and asked in a quiet voice, suppressing her emotions as much as possible.
