Red Line of the Metro

From the winner of the «Russian Detective 2021» award and the winner of the «Suspense Laboratory: Screen Adaptations» pitch.

2005. A young doctor from Oryol, Yulia Petrova, arrives in Moscow. Here she is to take advanced training courses and at the... same time gather the most pleasant impressions of the capital. But one meeting radically changes everything…
At that time, an unbalanced psychopath, Alexander Kolkin, is on the loose in Moscow. He hunts red-haired girls and makes them his slaves, marking them with a special bloody ritual. Unfortunately, Yulia's appearance exactly fits his fantasies.
However, by nature, the girl is not a slave at all. She manages to outsmart Kolkin and escape. But the maniac does not wish to leave such a delectable trophy alone — he watches his victim, threatens her over the phone… The police cannot help, as the girl suffers from prosopagnosia. She cannot recognize faces and is unable to identify her pursuer. From now on, Yulia's life resembles hell…
