режиссёрское высказывание:
Однажды я испытала необычное чувство, которому не могла дать имя. Из него родилась сцена, а затем и весь фильм. Мне хотелось сохранить это ощущение как артефакт, передать его за пределы памяти. Я нашла его в моменте, когда дочь обращается к матери за помощью в прерывании беременности.
Фильм следует за потерянным подростком, которая ищет своё место в мире и своё значение в жизни матери. Мать выражает заботу через контроль, тогда как дочь сопротивляется, но одновременно жаждет близости. Героиня пытается взять контроль над своим телом и своими решениями, но в итоге возвращается к матери, разделяя с ней ответственность.
В финале между ними возникает диалог: дочь доверяет матери своё благополучие, а затем следует за ней к ритуалу очищения, где мать, в свою очередь, возвращает ей контроль. Фильм завершается портретами обеих — подчёркивая их индивидуальность и взаимное уважение.

Между рейвами и ритуалами, характерными для Бурятии — республики, которая, будучи частью России, сохраняет сибирскую культурную традицию, — Аня пытается избавиться от боли, накопившейся в её теле.
directors note
Once, I experienced an unusual emotion I could not name. From it, a scene was born,
and then the film. I wanted to preserve this feeling as an artifact, sharing it beyond memory.
I found it in the moment when a daughter turns to her mother for an abortion.
The film follows a lost teenage girl seeking her place in the world and her significance in her mother’s life. The mother expresses care through control, while the daughter resists but also longs for closeness. The heroine asserts control over her body and choices,
yet ultimately returns to her mother, allowing shared responsibility. The abortion is her decision, carried out by another, binding their lives through a deep, shared experience.
In the end, they reach a dialogue: the daughter entrusts her wellbeing to her mother, then follows her to a rite of purification, where the mother returns control to her. The film closes with portraits of both, highlighting their individuality and mutual respect.

Anya is a young woman who seeks to discover something about her absent father figure,
but the strained relationship with her mother doesn’t allow for much leeway. When the mother brings home a strange male figure, their relationship only gets worse. Between raves and rituals typical of Buryatia, a republic that, despite being part of Russia, is marked by Siberian culture and traditions, Anya strives to rid herself of the anguish in her body.
