The hour is late in Berlin. Andrei, his face smeared with dried blood, slips furtively into the bedroom. The atmosphere is heavy with tension and silence. He slides into bed, observing his wife, frozen with fear and anger. His movements are slow, delicate, as if he fears shattering a fragile illusion.

The touch of his fingers on her cheek provokes an intense emotional reaction, mixing resentment and residual love.
