A provocative mystery based on true events about a man who has lost his identity. One early rainy morning at the Sevastopol train station the police pick up a man without documents. He has lost his memory. He remembers key historical dates, but can't recall his own name, family details or hometown. Who is he? How did he end up at the train station? A police investigation begins. A psychiatrist diagnoses the man with dissociative amnesia. He remembers some fragments from the previous day, a beautiful woman by the seaside, a concert, a casino but he struggles to put the pieces together. Meanwhile, a dead man is found in the city. This crime is no less confusing as again no documents are found on the body. As the police investigation unfolds, questions arise as to whether there is a connection between these two men. This taut police mystery-thriller is meticulously plotted, superbly staged and will leave you guessing until the very end.
