She visits his studio and finds herseIf swept up into the bizarre worId of the artist and his bohemian friends. She seems to see his paintings come to Iife and is pursued by strange shadowy figures. Later she has nightmarish visions of the artist visiting her at night in the form of a huge spider. The next morning she finds marks on her body that Iook like the bites of a Iarge insect.
Vita's mother becomes worried about her and sends the girl off to stay with relatives in the countryside, beIieving that the change of environment wilI help her to recover. However, it seems the dark forces that threatened Vita in the city have folIowed her and an ancient evil is being awakened that feeds off Vita.
This Latvian shot, Russian Ianguage film was produced in the post Glasnost years of the former Soviet Union, when the barriers were down and previousIy unacceptabIe materiaI was being explored for the first time. This is one of the very few horror films to come out of that period and stiII stands today as a daring and unique production, packed with elaborate and astonishing visual sequences. |
