Synopsis: 1970s. Andriy Dovzhenko – a young, creative, freedom-loving person, uncovers a terrifying truth – most of those accused of "anti-Soviet activities" were not sent to prison, but to special psychiatric hospitals, where they were given a diagnosis fabricated by the KGB – "sluggish schizophrenia." Andriy finds himself in the true hell of punitive psychiatry. He faces a difficult choice – to cooperate with the KGB and return to his family or reveal the truth about the dissidents tortured in psychiatric hospitals.
Синопсис: 1970-і роки. Андрій Довженко – молода, творча, волелюбна людина, з’ясовує страшну правду – більшість обвинувачених за статтею «антирадянська діяльність» відправляли не до в’язниці, а до психіатричних лікарень спеціального типу, приписуючи їм вигаданий в кабінетах КДБ діагноз – «млявоплинна шизофренія».
Андрій потрапляє у справжнє пекло каральної психіатрії. Перед ним постає непростий вибір – співпрацювати з КДБ і повернутися до сім’ї чи розкрити правду про дисидентів, закатованих у психлікарнях.
Фільм українською з англійськими субтитрами.
