Emissions from heavy industry in Norilsk exceed all acceptable limits — particularly sulfur levels. But that is not the only thing that makes life there feel like hell on Earth. A young investigator, recently dispatched from Moscow, is assigned to a brutal murder case committed by a seemingly fragile woman.

« Sulfur » is a short film directed by Lana Vlady, based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s short story of the same name. The film won the Best Short award at Kinotavr, Russia’s leading film festival.

Five young people flee Moscow, trying to escape their problems — and their inner demons. Searching for a retreat, they arrive in a remote village called Topi, located near an abandoned monastery. The village itself feels half-dead, half-alive, lost among swampy marshlands that seem to pull in unwelcome visitors. Getting out is far harder than getting in. To return to the world they left behind, each of the five must face their personal demons head-on — and for each of them, that confrontation will prove life-changing.

« Topi » is a seven-episode mini-series created and written by Dmitry Glukhovsky and directed by renowned Russian theater director Vladimir Mirzoev. It stars Ivan Yankovsky and Maksim Sukhanov in the lead roles. The series has been described as a mystical thriller, Russian chthonic horror, social metaphor, and even an encyclopedia of Russian life and death. « Topi » received multiple professional awards.
