Sulphur

Norilsk, the northernmost city on earth, lives from nickel production. The environmental damage is considerable. The destruction of a landscape is followed by the destruction of souls. Based on a story by Dmitry Glukhovsky, director Lana Vlady stages a dystopian chamber play that focuses on the psychological tension between two charismatic female characters. Gradually the roles between the investigator and the suspect become blurred, as the focus of the prosecution shifts from the alleged perpetrator to the vastness of society, only to rebound from the reinforced concrete walls of the interrogation cell and establish itself as a constant doubt in the mind.
